Grace Pudel is a lonely misfit with an affinity for collecting ornamental snails and an intense love for books.  At a young age, when Grace is separated from her twin brother Gilbert, she falls into a spiral of anxiety and angst.  Despite a continued series of hardships, inspiration and hope emerge when she strikes up an enduring friendship with an elderly eccentric woman named Pinky, who is full of grit and lust for life.  From Academy Award-winning animation writer and director Adam Elliot, it’s a poignant, heart felt, hilarious chronicle of the life of an outsider finding her confidence and silver linings amongst the clutter of everyday life.

“Charming, funny, tear-inducing…a gentle, touching, bitter-but-ultimately-sweet fable with a warming message: It’s OK to leave your shell behind.” – Austin Chronicle

“It’s a gorgeous film, but it’s also an emotionally intelligent movie, one that shifts and flows between comedy and tragedy, reminding us that life can only be lived forward.” – Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com

The Guild Cinema is located at 3405 Central Ave NE in the Nob Hill area.
