A Long Goodbye

A Long Goodbye – A tender, symbolic love story about the bond between 72-year-old pianist Ida and her husband Daniel, which remains strong even in the face of hardship. As Ida begins to struggle with her memory, their enduring love and most cherished memories remain at the heart of the story, bringing colour to her everyday life.

In this animated, interactive virtual reality experience, you are invited to see the world through Ida’s eyes and spend a day from her perspective. As her memory begins to fade, Daniel searches for ways to help his beloved wife reconnect with her past. Through the voice recordings he leaves for her, Ida’s memories come alive, filling her reality with colour once again, like watercolour paintings.
