Something tragic yet wonderful is transpiring within the Eisenhower unit, a hospital ward for military veterans stricken with dementia. One of the veterans is Marion. Marion is ninety-three years old, nearly blind, and suffers from severe dementia. From time to time, God lowers the veil of dementia that surrounds Marion. For a few precious moments, he can tell hilarious stories, speak fluent French, and reminisce about his World War II combat experiences. Struggling alongside Marion is my father, a disabled Korean War veteran who has Alzheimer's disease. By focusing on Marion and my father, this documentary declares the spirit of loved ones with dementia still survives, and they still deserve our love.
