NAPO

John, unable to understand the illness that drives his grandfather between past and present states, stumbles into an old album full of photographs and then let the images guide his imagination, transforming his grandpa’s memories into drawing interpretations. Drawings that shape their relationship into a history of remembrance and memory building.

3D animation, 16 minutes, 2020

ABOUT THE STORY

Our life is the result of the moments we remember. But … What if we couldn’t remember anything? This film was born out of the anguish of forgetfulness. The proposal is to approach the theme of Alzheimer’s in a subtle way showing, through the child’s playful vision, the construction of a friendship between grandson and grandfather. In his grandfather, John finds a great company to share his biggest passion: drawing. And with his grandson’s relationship, Napo has the chance to remember clippings from past memories one last time
