Kasa Branca is a charming, accessible film about dementia, care giving, and friendship, one that will warm many hearts.

In Kasa Branca, a teenage boy cares for his grandmother, who has dementia and uses a wheelchair. When he learns that she is terminally ill, he decides to make the most of their time together, having as much fun as possible with her (and his friends), despite their dire financial situation and the heavy adult responsibilities he faces at such a young age.

Kasa Branca is a touching film that beautifully highlights the power of friendship, care, and solidarity. The young Dé, who cares for his grandmother with dementia, captures your heart with his loving patience and playful demeanor. The film succeeds in emotionally resonating and portraying the complexity of life on the margins in a human way.
