Synopsis
Memories brings together three separate short films, each belonging to a different genre. Magnetic Rose Deep in space, engineers Heintz Beckner and Miguel Costrela answer a distress call that leads them to a massive, abandoned space station. Inside, they discover a dilapidated mansion and begin investigating, uncovering a dark history tied to Eva Friedel, a renowned opera singer with a tragic past. As they endure tormenting hallucinations, they must fight to hold on to their sanity and escape the station alive. Stink Bomb Nobuo Tanaka, a clumsy lab technician, takes some pills from his lab to treat a cold. Unaware that these experimental pills make his flatulence fatally potent, he accidentally kills everyone around him. His superiors order him to flee to the company's headquarters in Tokyo. With his deadly odor growing stronger, Nobuo struggles to evade relentless pursuit by the police, military, and international enemies. Cannon Fodder Set in a fortress city bristling with cannons, a young boy dreams of surpassing his father and gaining respect as an artillery officer. Despite a lack of evidence pointing to an opposing nation, he eagerly takes part in the city's daily cannon drills. His ambition to fire a cannon for his homeland drives him through every moment, whether at school or just before sleep.
