Synopsis:
Communism left its mark not only on those who lived in it, but also on the subsequent generations as well. After more than twenty-five years, we still face the remnants of socialist era around every corner. However, people’s memories and the way they perceive the fall of communism and life during and after this period tend to be different. ‘Memento’ is an experimental animation short-film which presents the fragments of these memories through the lens of subjectivity.
