Synopsis
Amidst a worldwide pandemic that causes amnesia, middle-aged Aris finds himself enrolled in a recovery program designed to help unclaimed patients build new identities. Assigned daily tasks on cassette tapes so he can create new memories and document them on camera, Aris slides back into ordinary life, meeting Anna, a woman who is also in recovery. 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.
Dates: Further details will be available here as soon as the end of the lockdown has been announced.
