Louis is an elderly retired man who lives alone. His daughter Nina often visits and lovingly leaves him little notes around the house to help with his memory. Unfortunately suffering from dementia, Louis stills wants to keep his independence though, and so ventures to the supermarket by himself one day. Beautifully animated, 'Memo' is a fascinating and delicate portrayal of the ageing mind losing its way.
