Experiencing Interruptions?

Through Grandpa's Eyes

We enter a house filled with objects. Kitchen scales in the stairwell, model trains covering the walls and old historical newspapers tucked away in drawers and cabinets. Every item has its place and tells its own story of how things once were.

Here we find Per, an eccentric 70 year old with Parkinson’s. From the outside it might seem like he is burying himself in the past. In a time before the illness. But is that really what he’s doing?
