Like part 2 of Duo Concertantes, it's a moving single picture, now doubled.

This film aims to capture the stories of the aging Isabella, but also captures her condition and loss of cohesiveness as she loses herself into dementia and Parkinson's.

Animation is sparingly but cleverly used to complement the delivery and avoid it just being a talking head.
