More DescriptionGabrielle is excited when Grandmother presents her with tickets to see her first live ballet. When the day comes, the ballet is even more breathtaking than she expects, but the evening is soured when Grandmother behaves strangely among the post-theater crowd. Later, Gabrielle's mother explains that Grandmother has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. The disease sometimes makes Grandmother forgetful, anxious, and agitated, but Gabrielle soon discovers that through music, she and Grandmother can share memories and make new ones. One night, Grandmother wakes the house in fear of an intruder, and cannot be calmed. But Gabrielle remembers a way to break through Grandmother's fear and is able to help her relax again.
