In Memoir of a Snail, the whimsical and heartfelt new film from Academy Award®-winning animator Adam Elliot (Mary and Max), an anxious misfit finds unexpected hope and friendship in the most unusual of companions. 

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 continued series of hardships, inspiration and hope emerge when she strikes up an enduring friendship with an elderly eccentric woman named Pinky, an ebullient, cigar smoking octogenarian whose colorful past includes stints as an exotic dancer in a schnitzel bar, ping pong matches with Fidel Castro, and now, a leading role in Grace’s life as her first human friend.  

From Academy Award® winning animation writer and director Adam Elliot (Mary and Max), 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, as well as being whimsical, irreverent and totally charming.
