Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Moll adapted from Colin Niel's novel but relocated to his own childhood region—those roads and cafés are personal geography.
The title references a Balzac quote about humans as 'only the animals who do not forget'—every character here is trapped by what they cannot release.
