Synopsis: Gian, a 65-years-old ethnomusicology professor, fights the darkness caused by a sudden amnesia. Flashes of the past, with the appearance of hazy archive footage, haunt his mind like a phantasmagoria of images. Miriam, the daughter he does not recognize, moves into his apartment with her son Elyas. She gives him a diary written in his twenties that revolves around Leila, a girl with whom he discovers love in the space of one night. This emotion exacerbates Gian’s pain but invites him to recover his memory. Who is this woman who was that important in his past? What happened to her? How could he forget such intense and intimate moments shared with her? Gian’s unmoored present-day life is gradually replaced by the vivid images of that past. Only by searching for Leila will he be able to find himself again. What is the mechanism that moves our memories? What happens if we forget the love of our life? And, conversely: what if they forget us?
