Mandagsfilmen: Memoir of a Snail

Grace Pudel loves romance novels, guinea pigs, and snails.
Her life story is marked by misfortune and hardship, and things take a particularly painful turn when she is separated from her twin brother Gilbert and placed in foster care. Together with us, she reflects on life’s many trials in this beautiful Australian film about self-discovery and learning to appreciate the good things in life — no matter the circumstances. The entire story is told through masterful stop-motion animation.

The film won the top prize at Annecy, the world’s largest animation festival, and took home Best Film at the BFI London Film Festival. It is also nominated for the Oscar for Best International Feature Film.
