Hunting Down Memory
Director Thomas Lien
Countries
Duration 80 min
Synopsis
Who are you if you do not know yourself? Who am I if my whole past is gone? What is identity? In which way is identity connected to memory? Imagine waking up tomorrow without recalling today. All recollections are deleted. Imagine living without a background history, without recognizing those who know you. Imagine encountering the world as if it was for the first time. And finally, imagine this happening to you while travelling alone on a train in China.
