Moretti plays Luis Kramar, rescued from a wrecked car by an unemployed male nurse. Kramar wakes up next day in hospital – his memory gone, his identity gone.
The head doctor in the neurological ward takes personal care of him – and has him immobilized through medication. The car in which Kramar had the accident belongs to her. When the nurse searches Kramar's hotel room, he finds evidence to show that Kramar was following and observing him. And he also finds a gun.
The search for Kramar's past becomes an enigma, a race against time, a matter of life and death.
