In 1970s Australia, Grace’s life is troubled by misfortune and loss. After their mother dies during pregnancy, she and her twin brother, Gilbert, are raised by their paraplegic-alcoholic former juggler father, Percy. Despite a life filled with love, tragedy strikes anew when Percy passes away in his sleep. The siblings are forcibly separated and thrust into separate homes. As the years pass, and despite new sorrows, a glimmer of hope emerges when she strikes up an enduring friendship. MEMOIR OF A SNAIL is a moving look at how we find our true selves.
