4 Ways 2 Forget

Influenced by a Linklater movie quote and the novel "Wittgenstein's Mistress" by David Markson, 4 WAYS 2 FORGET tries to explore the topics of human memory, remembering and thus, forgeting. Through the 4 different stages of human life (childhood, adulthood, elderness, and death) film camera moves around fragileness of memories, and asks the question: can we, or do we really remember anything? If we think that we do, is it really a fruitful effort, or are we better off if we just forget the past? Are our lives as fragile as our fading memories?
