MEMORY

Sylvia is a social worker who leads a simple and structured life: her daughter, her job, her AA meetings. This is blown open when Saul follows her home from their high school reunion. Their surprise encounter will profoundly impact both of them as they open the door to the past.

“I wanted to make a film about people who for whatever reason fall through the cracks of society. Their inability – or unwillingness – to conform to expectations is often rooted in events that only exist in their memories. But sometimes their very marginalisation offers an escape from the shadows of the past, a chance to build a life in the present. Memory is about whether one can truly escape those shadows.”
