Mnemosyne is a eulogy by a grieving and nostalgic man for a mysterious girl he met when he was desperate and anxious about life. The meeting brought hope and since then, they briefly enjoyed each other's company till the girl's complicated past and the unfairness of life took over and grabbed her away.

Director Statement
When I was very young, my grandmother committed suicide and last year, I have lost two very close friends who also committed suicide …. While thinking of all of the loved ones I lost during my life on this unpredictable world, I got the idea to experiment with images make something which maybe somehow hypnotic, disturbing, poetic in a sense, something that could be my visual eulogy to all the loved one I lost. I filmed a fellow filmmakers and painter and her daughter and I mixed all the images of her with some other random images I have already filmed and It took me three months of editing to come up with this short "Mnemosyne".
