lately i saw following movies at the cinema:
small world, based upon the homonymous novel by swiss-bestseller-author martin suter.
konrad lives with his childhood best-friend thomas, who has inherited a fortune from his father. when konrad accidentialy sets a fire in the house, and becomes more and more delusional, he's diagnosed alzheimer. but the more he forgets the more strange things he remembers from the past.
absolutely great mystery-novel, the alzheimer-part is researched just great!
