About this movie

The world as we know it has been forgotten. A decade after a global epidemic, those who remain suffer from lasting effects of the virus - retrograde and anterograde amnesia. The survivors navigate a decaying landscape, unable to recall the past or create new memories. Each finds their own way to cope with life in a perpetual present, where meaning must be experienced moment by moment. A boy loses his guardian and searches for a new home beyond the limits of the city. Two lovers struggle to stay together, afraid that if separated, they will forget each other forever. A violent young man takes what he needs to survive, no matter the cost. A professor researching a cure makes a connection that is not what he expected. And deep underground, a girl living with her father in a bunker safe from the virus must decide whether to risk infection to regain her freedom. In the world without memory, everyone must survive their own apocalypse of identity.

Not a film to be watched for plot and development, but to be enjoyed and appreciated for each beautiful moment. It's thought provoking and emotionally intriguing, if your not into that kind of stuff and demand a film that "follows the rules," this may not be for you. Otherwise, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

If youre expecting plot development from characters that cant remember from one moment to the next then keep clicking. Otherwise, this is a very well done story on a very interesting what if.

Terrible... can't believe I wasted my time watching it to the end. Kept hoping that something would happen, but nothing happens.
