What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Audiences were cooler on it than critics.

As an unpredictable, sweeping pandemic causes people to develop sudden amnesia, a man finds himself enrolled in a recovery program designed to help him build a new life. His treatment: performing daily tasks prescribed by his doctors on cassette tape, and capturing those with a Polaroid camera.
