Remember My Name is an animated short film adaptation of Sascha Kempinski’s children’s book The Escape to Sweden (Flugten til Sverige).
A teddy bear is separated from the child he has just begun to love. As war forces a desperate escape across the sea, hope, loss, and unexpected kindness shape a quiet tale of survival- and the longing for reunion.
