Memo is a young man dragging the aftermath of a tremendous loss that's left him depressed and practically chained to his living room sofa. His cousin Lily has moved in with her unemployed actor boyfriend "Fede" to keep the home afloat and look after Memo. As the burden is becoming too hefty to bear, Lily reaches out to her previous boss and helps Memo land a job at a local supermarket where Memo meets Frankie, a gay cashier who lives on the edge, and Marie, who's a gentle soul and is immediately drawn to him. Through them and the sonorous memories of a tragic event, Memo will have to face a haunting past that won't deliver him, a dreadful present and an uncertain future.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
