Memory and Nostalgia | Concept #3

Taking a bite from the sci-fi categories, a wild idea came into mind. Still have to figure out the kinks but here it goes.

The story is about an elderly man (depressed) who is cleaning out his attic and he comes across a box that contains memories of his childhood. Way below is a VHS tape labelled “My Life – A retrospective” . He dusts of an old tv and vcr and inserts the tape. He starts to rewind the tape and we show it is also deaging the protagonist as well. The forward and rewind options help him relive the big moments of his life. Towards the end the tapes reel gets coiled and destroyed. Regardless of this he has a smile on his face and sleeps peacefully.

An inspiratio was Everything, everywhere, all at once;

Some of these visuals are just the right ingrdients to get the tone and essence of the story.
