This saga recalls how a shy, naïve, seventeen year old lad’s rustic boyhood passions for fishing and ice hockey are unexpectedly upstaged by a chance encounter with a charming girl he meets at his summer stock-boy job. Steeped in provincial, small town sensibilities, he finds himself swept away into youthful infatuation. An ardent pursuit of his darling soul-mate evolves into an odyssey of self-discovery full of joy and tears.
Persistence of Memory is a tender, coming-of-age drama set during the turbulent Sixties, where youthful idealism inexorably conflicts with adult values of the Vietnam War era. It recalls a slice of vanished Americana when both personal and national innocence were lost. And yet this touching little story reveals how a random romantic encounter can profoundly color one’s entire life.
