Synopsis
Alex, a 28 year-old photographer, is no longer able to photograph people, for some mysterious reason. Every time he focuses his camera on someone, the same woman appears in his viewfinder--an image he cannot bear. Alex panics when his brother Aram, whom he has neither seen nor spoken to for years, unexpectedly phones him and asks him to come back to their parental home; their mother is severely ill and may not have long to live. panics. The thought of confronting the area in which he grew up, and the reality of having a renewed encounter with his family makes him very nervous. Nevertheless, that same evening, he packs his bags and leaves for AmnesiA: the estate of his parents, the spot where he spent his youth.
