1 THE NOTEBOOK

With almost religious devotion, Duke (James Garner), a kindly octogenarian in a peaceful nursing home, reads daily a captivating story from the worn-out pages of his leather-bound notebook to an Alzheimer's-stricken woman (Gena Rowlands).

To keep her company, Duke recounts the fascinating love affair of the impecunious but poetic country boy, Noah (Ryan Gosling), and the affluent city girl, Allie (Rachel McAdams), unfolding, little by little, a lumber-scented Southern summer romance beneath the trees of late-1930's North Carolina.

More and more, the silver-haired patient finds herself immersed in the strangely alluring fairy tale of the young ardent lovers' highs and lows as if the silent manuscript possessed the unfathomable power to penetrate the opaque clouds that shroud her sad soul.

2 STILL MINE

After years of stability, the lives of octogenarian couple, Craig (James Cromwell) and Irene Morrison (Genevieve Bujold) , are slowly beginning to change. Because of changing times and regulations, they are no longer able to make a living from their small coastal New Brunswick farm.

Irene has begun to show signs of early dementia. Against the wishes of their two offsprings who would like to see more standard care provided for Irene, Craig, decides to mill lumber from trees on their property and with it build a more suitable, small one-story house in which he and Irene can live.

Despite being able to complete this project to more than exacting centuries-old standards, Craig ends up hitting one roadblock after another in this regulatory process, which could scuttle this project, and his want for what he sees as a comfortable life with Irene in their final years.

3 STILL ALICE

The respected and otherwise healthy Linguistics professor, Alice Howland, (Julianne Moore) is a fifty-year-old mother of three, an accomplished scholar, and a tragic victim of early-onset Alzheimer's.

Only after a deceptively innocent slip of the tongue, a short-term memory loss during a lecture, and a disorientation attack inside the campus will it become clear that Alice, indeed, is suffering from this hereditary disease. She has always been a take-charge person, but now realizes that this debilitating disease will only get worse as time goes on.

As if things weren't bad enough--Alice slowly drowns inside her mind, knowing that, not only will she cease to recognize her beloved children, but she may also be the one who could pass the condition on them.

4 THE FATHER

Anne visits her father Anthony in his flat after he has driven away the latest of several caregivers. He has dementia and constantly forgets important life events and where things are around his flat, including his watch. He tells Anne he believes his caregiver stole his watch and that he will never move out of his flat. She tells Anthony she is moving to Paris to be with a man, which confuses Anthony since he does not recall any men in her life since the end of her marriage to James. Anne says that if he keeps refusing to have a caregiver, she will have to move him into a nursing home.

Anthony encounters an unknown man, Paul, in his flat. Paul says he is Anne's husband and that Anthony is living in their flat. Anne returns but appears to Anthony as a different woman. When a new caregiver, Laura, arrives for an interview, Anthony tells Laura he was a professional dancer and insists he does not need any assistance. Anthony later says Laura reminds him of his other daughter Lucy, whom he has not seen for a long time.
