Phantom Inventory - L'inventaire Fantôme

This animated short film is in French, but not being able to understand doesn't take away from the fantastic visuals. For those who would like more help, the basic gist is that a tax collector comes knocking on an old man's door only to find empty rooms. When asked what he collects, the old man answers "Memories, memories no one wants anymore." The tax collector spies a hidden doorway only to discover what appears to be a massive collection of treasures large and small. But after spending some time in the aisles, tagging items, the tax collector discovers that the collection is not what he first imagined. As he leaves, he is confronted by his own unwanted memories.
