“Memento Amare“(Remember to love), tells a story of the “spirit birds” or as Mihai, father of little Mara explains to her, “the people who loved the most”. Immigrant construction worker Mihai, lives his life divided between his memories from his home in Romania and his monotonous daily existence on the construction site in London, UK. His secluded life filled with loneliness and feeling homesick, makes sense to him only in the hope that one day when he will manage to raise enough money, his family will join him. But when Brexit happens, Mihai has to find another job, one that unfortunately will endanger his uncertain existence even more in a land where he doesn’t find any identity or solace. In the end put into an extreme situation, Mihai chooses to forgive his murderer and love above all so he can join “the spirit birds” and keep the promise he made to his little daughter.
