Amidst a worldwide pandemic that causes sudden amnesia, middle-aged Aris (Aris Servetalis) finds himself enrolled in a recovery program designed to help unclaimed patients build new identities. Prescribed daily tasks on cassette tapes so he can create new memories and document them on camera, Aris slides back into ordinary life, meeting Anna (Sofia Georgovasili), a woman who is also in recovery.

As increased incidences of sudden and potentially irreparable amnesia sweep through the globe, Aris, a grizzled loner, realizes that this unprecedented pandemic has harmed his memories. As a result, having no recollection of his past, Aris joins an ambitious recovery programme designed to facilitate a smoother transition to an entirely different reality. Then, unexpectedly, while struggling to complete crucial daily tasks, Aris has a chance encounter with Anna, a kindred spirit afflicted by the same cruel disease. But now, more and more, a new identity emerges. What is the price of starting anew?

Through images deadpan, strange and surreal, Greek writer-director Christos Nikou posits a beguiling reflection on memory, identity, and loss, exploring how a society might handle an irreversible epidemic through one man’s story of self-discovery. Are we the sum of the images we compile and display of ourselves, or are we something richer, and deeper?

“Simultaneously deadpan and dour, somber and surreal, this is a haunting meditation on the manipulation of memory to anesthetize pain, crafted with a meticulous attention to visual and aural composition that makes for arresting viewing… Crisp and flavorful, with a lingering aftertaste.”
– HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

“This hugely accomplished, satisfyingly textured first feature is really something special.”
– SCREEN INTERNATIONAL

“What might have been the latest oddity of the Greek Weird Wave — or else a surreal collection of live-action “The Far Side” cartoons — instead feels soulfully relevant as reality aligns with the speculative world Nikou imagined.”
