Official Synopsis: Our Song is the story of Emily, a dementia patient, and her journey to retrieve her favourite memories from days gone by.

From writer/director Scott Lyus, Silently Within Your Shadow, Echoes of the Passed, comes this new, exciting and important short film. Inspired by the filmmakers personal journey with his Nan over the last 4 years, Our Song is without doubt his most personal picture to date and one he hopes will shine a light on the taboo that is mental disease, while giving back to the cause they are championing. With 15% of all money raised going to Alzheimer’s research.
