The Memory of You
Alternative title: Minnet av dig

Directed by Nils Janlert

Adam is going to dinner with his wife, when he is disrupted by something from his past. A story about a love that never was, shot in one single take.

Also featured in:

The Memory of You is an elegant Swedish gay short film about a married man unexpectedly encountering the male lover he left behind. Nils Janlert shoots the story in one continuous take, giving the reunion a fragile immediacy as memory and present-day obligation collide. The technical control never overwhelms the emotion, and the unresolved longing gives the film a particularly bittersweet pull.
