My Dear Neurons

In this documentary essay, the filmmaker weaves together personal memories, Prague locations, and interviews with friends: can our brains produce new neurons in old age? With a touch of humor, the film explores the fear of aging: concerns about fading memory and the isolation that can result. The universe as a metaphor for memory and connections across generations. The film also references the historical context of the Czech Republic, whose transformations have influenced the lives of the main protagonist and her friends. The central theme of the film is the search for solidarity: shared stories, practical wisdom, and laughter reveal how friendship helps us face physical and mental changes. After many years of making documentaries in Belgium, the Czech filmmaker presents her new film shot in Prague—an intimate, universal meditation on time, identity, and human relationships.
