FILM "LOST PROPERTY"

Now compare your stories with the real plot of the film. Guess the real meaning of this film.

Now read out part of an interview with the director of the film, Asa Lucander, in which she explains what the film is about.

"Lost Property is a love story, but above all it is about the fragility of the mind - how we take it for granted, and how lost we are without it. It is about hope, persistence and devotion. It portrays an illness, Alzheimer's - that robs us of who we are. Our memory is so fragile, yet so deeply ingrained. It's about how we cope with it, and how it affects others. The film touches on these things, yet on the face of it, it is a simple tale in a lost property office. I see the lost property office as a metaphor for the mind. Shared memories are tucked away in hidden rooms, waiting to be found."
