Memoir of a Snail

Grace Pudel is a lonely misfit with an affinity for collecting ornamental snails and an intense love for books. At a young age, when Grace is separated from her fire-breathing twin brother, Gilbert, she falls into a spiral of anxiety and angst. Despite a continuous series of hardships, inspiration and hope emerge when she strikes up an enduring friendship with an elderly eccentric woman named Pinky, who is full of grit and lust for life. From Academy Award-winning animation writer and director Adam Elliot, Memoir of a Snail is a poignant, heartfelt, and hilarious chronicle of the life of an outsider finding her confidence and silver linings amongst the clutter of everyday life.
