Children’s Film Festival Seattle Presents SOUVENIR Film Review — Memories, Fleeting and Treasured

A grown man and his young daughter find themselves in outer space with space helmets on.
Around them are different everyday items – a stack of postcards, a pot of red flowers, and a set
of colorful alphabetical children’s blocks. Every item is tied to the surface by a thin piece of
yarn, and as the father examines them, the objects begin to float away into the distant darkness.
His daughter grasps onto the floating objects in an attempt to save them, but instead of weighing
the objects down, she too is carried into outer space. Her father is puzzled, and he helplessly
watches his young daughter drift away. We then see the father again, but he’s much older now
and sits in his living room, unaware of his surroundings.

Souvenir shows us the inside of an old man’s mind as he suffers from dementia and depends on
souvenirs to remember the most important person in his life – his daughter.
