A parallel universe of loneliness. An isolated man without memories. A new beginning. Brilliant Smart Inspiring

In this film Aris appears to have suffered from a major case of amnesia, along with many of his fellow citizens. As a result he is put into a rehabilitation program, to try to help him rebuild his identity. The central character plays the scenes with a deadpan air, allowing us to view the unfolding events with him. He meets a fellow amnesiac, and they appear to be building a relationship, but he becomes disillusioned when he realises that her advances towards him are just the result of suggestions by the doctors who are controlling the program. It is an interesting study about the search for identity, and a meaning to life, and perhaps too the controlling impact of institutions on our lives, as the demands of the doctors become increasingly bizarre and inappropriate. Ultimately the film seems to question whether the character really has lost his memory, or whether this is a voluntary choice, as he searches for a new identity.

Even though there were a few absurdities, it was very well made in general. It's a very easy going and entertaining movie.

A very interesting take on a different type of pandemics, I felt I could see more of that movie, maybe more complications and more lines to the story to give it the depth that could made that a movie one of the best movies in 2021 without a doubt.

Beside my wishes, an authentic experience that you witness rarely.

A film quite good in terms of plot, composition of the story and its evolution as well as with a great cinematic and directorial image, sound and shooting for the Greek data, the only thing that spoils it is the typical Greek "daydreaming" and the non-liveliness of the actors, except for the excellent Servetalis once again. The story had some holes in some parts of the film with a more characteristic ending as I think the director should have given more basis to the ending of the film and find out all the reason that ended up and the main character to choose this "new identity". ... maybe it was appropriate that I could not enter the director's mind except to make guesses and reflections ... generally a well-crafted plot which was not at all often boring and similar to others.
