同樣的嘆息與對命運的嘲弄口吻，在鏡頭前現身的不再是演員，而是歐莉本人，在漏水的公寓裡擺弄攝影機，拍下自己從早到晚，受貧窮和病痛折磨，毫無浪漫可言的困難生活。《失憶日記》發表一年後，導演重新編纂歐莉本人拍攝的片段，並將用於前作的音檔，放回原生語境，反向凸顯紀錄片的歧義性，以及虛構與真實的潛力。 《失憶日記》與《失憶實錄》在某種程度上是互補的，它們指向紀錄片拍攝中接近現實的不同方式——作者觀點與被稱之為「真實現實」的純粹紀錄。」

Mrs O. tosses a chicken from her balcony. Mrs O. thinks her neighbor is a secret agent. Mrs O. has Alzheimer’s, but her pet name for her disease is “Alda.” With great humor, irony, and self-deprecating insight, this defiant and willful woman commentates on her own daily life in Prague. There’s a list on the door of friends and family members she’s allowed to let in even if she doesn’t recognize them. Sometimes she thinks she’s living under Communist rule, and she worries that if she doesn’t hang out a flag on Labor Day she’ll be arrested.
