An exasperatingly thin and derivative film that attempts to investigate the erotic and ecstatic dimensions of memory loss.

Eduardo Noriega is Graham, a young guy with a goldfish's mental grip on his surroundings and his own past. After a few minutes, everything is forgotten and he must write everything obsessively down in a notebook. Anna Mougalis is the beautiful young woman attracted to him and electrified by the possibilities of sex for the first time - all the time.

It is more than a little like Christopher Nolan's Memento, which, to be fair, was more than a little like Tom Tykwer's Wintersleepers. But this is a cinema of pure mannerism, pure surface. It is varnished up to a plausible gloss: but with no real emotions or ideas. The sex scenes look as if they belong in some kind of racy coffee-table picture book.
