Cat of the Ancient Roman Ruins - a photo on Flickriver

I recently re-watched After LIfe, the masterpiece by director
Kore-eda Hirokazu, and it's such an interesting premise for a film-for your after life, you choose just one memory for your time when you were alive to take with you and you'll live in that space forever.

When I first watched this film, it was twenty years ago and my experiences on Earth (and time on Earth) is now doubled. At the time that I watched it, I had only traveled to different states, Canada, and once to London. The memory I would take with me now happened very recently on my trip to Rome. My partner, Cinchel, had booked a hotel for us with a balcony overlooking the cat ruins. Every night when the sun started to go down, the cats would get the zoomies and start running across the ruins until the early morning. One morning, I also heard a nun who seemed to have come to visit the ruins just to see the cats. I can get behind that sort of religion!

In any case, if I had to pick one memory for my after life, it would be sitting on that balcony watching those cats having their best adventures.

What memory would you pick?

Here's a link to the film:
