MEMOIR OF A SNAIL

Adam Elliot

dfgjhkgfdj

After her father dies, snail collector Grace Pudel’s quiet life is turned upside down when social services separate her from her twin brother and send her to live with a foster family far away. Luckily, eccentric octogenarian Pinky helps coax her out of her shell through a series of increasingly over-the-top events.

Adam Elliot has been making audiences laugh and cry for 30 years, and his latest film is no exception. Taking home the top prize at the 2024 Annecy International Animation Film Festival, and inspired by the films of Jan Švankmajer and David Lynch, Memoir of a Snail stands out as one of the best and most moving animated films of the year.
