Amnesia

Running time: 14 mins

Ranging from rural Thailand to night crawling Manhattan, this collection of shorts examines the conflict inherent in making a choice and the sometime burden of memory. It is the process of reconstructing memory that drives the light-hearted, Rashamon-esque The Quarry as well as the NYC set Amnesia and continues into Children of the Struggle. Jack Lemmon plays a pet shop owner determined not to sell a puppy to a young customer in the Elmer Bernstein scored Puppies For Sale. In Are You Luigi?, all it takes is one simple question, to a man unfortunately not named Luigi, to be launched into a lifetime of reflection on what might have been. One Day Crossing is the taut story of Jewish survivors trying to outlast the closing days of WWII in Budapest. The simply named Motorcycle is the vehicle that transports this film into the conflict between urban and rural Thailand as a father loses a son to the city.
