Memo

2004 · 86 min

A somber, slow-burning meditation on memory and loss, unfolding across decades with a quiet, haunting weight.

Overview: The story of the film is set in the period from the 1940s until today in the Pannonian plain (the plain in the Central Europe), in an area of elusive boundaries, mysterious and unstable spiritual identity. The witness of the time is a Jewish boy Benya Cohn who, with his eye wide open, remembers the tragedy of his family, in the shadow of the Holocaust, concentration camps and new wars.
How it feels: Melancholic, bleak, dark and earnest. Slow-burning and demanding.
About: Memory, grief, war, identity
Content: Mild violence and language. No gore or sexual content.
