Up the River with Acid

_Up the River with Acid_ is an intimate, impressionistic documentary by Harald Hutter that unfolds over two days in the life of his father, Horst, a former professor whose daily life is profoundly disrupted by cognitive decline. Shot on 16 mm, the film gently observes gestures, silences, and perceptions as memory begins to fragment, while subtly sketching the deep bond that unites Horst and his wife.
