Auf meinem Rücken wächst ein Garten

»There's a Garden Growing on my Back«Fido and his granddad are inseparable even though he suffers from dementia a poetic portrait about the creation and loss of memories. Grandad is a little out of rhythm. Mom says he has dementia and sometimes it is not easy with him. He wanders out at night, forgets where he lives, looks for his shoes in the oven and takes apples for potatoes. But grandson Fido loves his grandpa. They write lists of things that make them happy, they experience the good and the bad, as grandpa says: »Sometimes it goes up, sometimes it goes down.« Birgit Unterholzner's heart-warming story about caring and understanding tells the tale of the incomparable love between a grandson and a grandfather.
