Core Memory

A three-year-old girl is left unsupervised one summer afternoon. The joy she finds while painting herself, simultaneously discovering her own body and creativity, is one of these treasured moments that will not repeat itself. These kinds of episodes stay stored inside of us, as core memories that give an emotional value to our human experience. The absence of shame and her pure amazement by own creative ability is at the heart of Patricia Drati’s short film. The little girl is fascinated to the extent that she can hold her focus for unusually long time for her age. As an audience, we get sucked into this magical world of creativity and freedom.
