As a disease eats away at her husband’s identity, a devoted wife wrestles with reclaiming her sense of self. Siti was still a young mother in her mid-30s when an insidious disease fell upon her beloved husband Gary and upended their lives forever. 

​

Dementia, typically seen as an "old-person’s disease", is now afflicting younger Singaporeans, as early as in their late 30s. These young patients – as well as their families – find their lives abruptly interrupted. Many struggle to perform simple daily tasks, like brushing their teeth.

There is no cure. 

​

Lady! is an intimate portrait of love and loss. It is a place for difficult conversations around death and dying. It holds space for tears. More importantly, the film challenges us as a society to rally behind the carers in our midst.
