In a dark brooding sun-less city everyone has fond memories of Shell Beach but when questioned is unable to say where it is. I don’t want to spoil Dark City (Director’s Cut) for you too much, but our own yearnings for Shell Beaches usually originate from fleeting memories of family vacations that occurred in our infancy.

These memories are so poignant because small children are so easy to please, sun, sand, sea, and bright gaudy toys our every need catered  for by younger still energetic parents.

You occasionally will get a tantalizing flashback of your “Temps Perdu” when you see a certain color, or texture or see small children playing.

This perhaps explains some of those unexplained yearnings and flashbacks (Amelie Dreams).  Go ask your parents while you can about these times.
