Mario, a man diagnosed with Korsakoff’s Syndrome, uncovers lost memories of his dark past and regains the ability to form new memories with the aid of his psychiatrist Paloma.

Mario, a man who resides in a psychiatric clinic, has no memory of the last 22 years of his life and cannot form new memories.  Paloma, a new psychiatrist believes that Mario has Korsakoff’s Syndrome, a neurological illness characterized by both retrograde and anterograde amnesia. Paloma suspects that the first forgotten years of Mario’s retrograde amnesia were not caused by his illness but rather by a traumatic event and sets out to uncover these buried memories. Under the effects of increasingly larger doses of a stimulant medication, Mario remembers details of his dark past and begins forming new memories.
