Myosotis is in the family of Boraginaceae, a genus of flowering plants, colloquially called the forget-me-not or Scorpion grasses.
The film centers around a connection between a character that displays memory loss and may have Alzheimer’s along with a character that recently lost their spouse. Their touching exchange both invigorates and consoles with the forget-me-not flowers and garden centerpiece in their life connection.
