The film consists of three segments, directed by Kōji Morimoto, Tensai Okamura and Katsuhiro Ōtomo. Anime Limited describes Memories as follows:
"Three back-to-back anime films by three different directors make up this sci-fi trilogy three years in the making. In the chilling 'Magnetic Rose,' engineers on a spacecraft board an abandoned space station and encounter disturbing paranormal forces. A young lab worker accidentally swallows a chemical weapon and becomes a walking killing machine in 'Stink Bomb.' In 'Cannon Fodder,' a young boy and his father fight for survival in a city functioning on paranoia."
