An uplifting look at one of the most unique singing groups in Britain, Singing for the Brain. A group in which every member is affected with Alzheimer’s Disease but that doesn’t stop them from singing their hearts out.

Every week a unique group of people gather together in a large hall in Bristol in the South West of England. They are mostly over the age of 65. Some are in wheelchairs or hobbling with the help of walking sticks, others are physically lively and vigorous. Some seem withdrawn and mute, others garrulous or confused. All these people have one thing in common: Alzheimer’s.

But, even as their memories are failing, they also possess an unquenchable desire to go on singing. Hilda has had to move out of her family home and into care. She has lost the ability to recognize even those closest to her, and Ted, her devoted husband of 50 years, calls her his ‘lovely little stranger’. But although she can no longer remember the man she married, one thing she hasn’t forgotten is the tune to “Que Sera, Sera”.

Alzheimer’s – The Musical is a film about love, time and the astonishing ability of music to give us back people we thought we had lost.
