A philosophical, gently surreal meditation on memory, identity, and what makes a life meaningful, told through the quiet rituals of a man rebuilding himself from nothing.

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.
