Cam Girl stems from an intimate observation of the relationship between a mother and daughter forced to redefine themselves when dementia breaks into their lives. The film tackles a universal theme through an original lens: that of technological control used as a final attempt to hold together what is inevitably slipping away. The story unfolds between two locations, two languages, and two cultures—French-speaking Switzerland and Piedmont—rendering the emotional distance between the protagonists both physical and symbolic. The narrative use of surveillance cameras allows for an exploration of the fragility of the gaze, the illusion of being able to prevent loss, and the shifting nature of the mother-daughter bond. The tone blends realism, irony, and moments of intimacy, finding light and humor even in the most painful passages. My intention is to portray dementia without rhetoric or victimhood, but rather with compassion, truth, and a female perspective that speaks of care, freedom, and the limits of sacrifice.
