Within today's society, a small percentage of people have lost the ability to remember anything of the past and are unable to create new memories. We all forget trivial things at some point in our lives. But these people can't remember where they live, even when standing outside their own home. They can't remember their children, who they just sat down with at breakfast. And they've even forgotten why they remember nothing. This revealing and moving documentary follows the difficult lives of Debbie, Sally, and George and their families as they struggle to cope with the heartrending condition that has robbed them of their pasts and challenged their ability to achieve any bearable kind of future.
