Vincent is an older man suffering with dementia, and carefully nursed by his daughter Amelia who visits him frequently, and so like every other day, she sits in his company, observing his deteriorating memory and sense of self. As they speak, Vincent loses his orientation and is dragged through a montage of memories of his late wife only to come back to the present and realise that she is no longer around, reliving the pain of his loss as if it were the first time.

Awakened follows the duality of life on the streets and life in sobriety, but which is he living today?

This film represents the AWAKENING of the body and soul, and the importance of looking back at your past self, acknowledging the dark, and remembering there is always light.
