The documentary 'Don't Forget That I Love You', directed by Olaf Koelewijn, offers a poignant and intimate portrait of the love and struggle of Jan and Annemarie against the relentless consequences of Alzheimer’s. With Jan (67) being diagnosed in 2022, and his wife Annemarie as both partner and caregiver, this film shows the heartbreaking reality of a couple seeing their shared life gradually disappear. In this honest and moving documentary, we see how Jan slowly loses his sharp mind, while Annemarie tries to support him with love and patience without losing herself. Despite the challenges, they draw strength from their faith and try to find joy in this difficult life phase. Annemarie combines her work as a speaker with caring for Jan, while Jan finds solace in his passion for playing drums in a band and his weekly billiards adventures. 'Don't Forget That I Love You' is not only a reminder and promise for Jan and Annemarie but also an invitation for the viewer to reflect on what remains when memories fade. This documentary offers an unfiltered look at the daily rituals, small irritations, and the powerful love that persists even amid the struggle against Alzheimer's.
