Synopsis
Zin lives in a world where screens cease to exist, and curated memories uploaded directly to the mind are society's source of entertainment. Desperate for money to buy valuable medicine for her sick daughter, with the help of Ray, a small-time thief, the two break into the home of Ashim, a reclusive man who sleeps restlessly at night. During a late evening, Ashim dreams of his missing daughter, whom he lost years ago in a violent blizzard. Without his knowledge, in his living room, Zin operates a machine capable of trapping Ashim in an endless loop of his haunting memory. Using the loop to distract Ashim's busy mind, Zin and Ray extract Ashim's memories. A precious commodity that will sell well on the black market. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Ashim awakes and must confront the two thieves. Both will do anything to escape with their stolen goods, and Ashim will do anything to protect the memories of his daughter.
