00:00The start of the story, a woman named Christine wakes up from sleep and looks a bit confused.

00:05A mysterious man is sleeping beside her. She goes inside the washroom and looks at all the

00:09pictures and finds out that the guy's name is Ben and it is her husband. Her husband starts

00:14to explain to her that she once got caught in a car accident. Hence she does not remember most

00:19of what she did in the past. When she wake up in the morning, she mentally goes back in her early

00:2420s. This was hard to the women to hear and he could barely trust this man as her husband.

00:29Even though he assures her that he love her a lot. They have been married for almost 14 years

00:34after finishing off their studies in university. Her husband leaves for work and goes on his daily

00:39routine. Right after, she gets a call from a man called Dr. Nash, who reveals that they together

00:45are working on fixing her memory, but Ben does not know about this. So Dr. Nash tell her to open the

00:51wardrobe in her bedroom and tells her to find a camera at the back of the drawer. She calmly opens

00:56this dark black camera and turns it on, as suggested by Dr. Nash. There she sees herself

01:01talking and revealing that she is 40 years old and how every day she wake up without a

01:05memory of past. We go back to two weeks earlier, she is sitting with Dr. Nash. It is raining

01:11outside, meanwhile, Dr. Nash drives her to a parking lot. She is in total disbelief about

01:16what is really going on. Dr. Nash saw her in a park three weeks ago by luck, where Christine

01:22had been referred to him by his friend. There he explains that he was a neurotherapist

01:26and from there he handled her case. She might not remember, but she herself gave him the

01:31consent to treat her. Dr. Nash gives her this dark black camera so that she could keep a visual

01:36diary to be able to hold on to the memories. He reveals that 10 years ago, she was attacked

01:41by someone in an industrial estate, hence the reason she forget everything. To which she

01:46is surprised, because her husband told her that she was caught by car accident. Dr. Nash even

01:51shows her the document proof of what happened. Someone tried to take her life away, but no one

01:56knows about the person, except her. But she cannot recall the person due to her condition. Dr. Nash

02:02suggests her to hide the camera in the wardrobe, so that her husband Ben won't know about it.

02:07It is clear that Ben is trying to hide something from her. At night when Ben is making dinner,

02:11Christine proceeds to record herself telling everything she know about herself and this day.

02:16Suddenly her husband is about to come inside the room and she quickly warp everything up and go to

02:21sleep. It is the next morning, she wakes up having no clue of what really happened. Once again she is

02:26being told about her unique situation and daily life. She could not believe that she does not work

02:32or study at home and just sit around all day. Christine again goes and meets Dr. Nash. Where she is

02:38watching her video, again trying to remember things about her life. They end up in a big factory,

02:43where a worker explains how he found her on top of this machine. The blood was everywhere and she only

02:48had a plastic sheet on top of her. Christine is trying to recall what she might be doing at the

02:53airport, but no matter how much she tries, she really cannot. Back at home, she record herself saying

02:58that she have to remember what happened the night she was attacked. She walks out of her room and

03:03hears children laughing, but no one's outside. At night, Ben comes and comforts Kristen and kiss

03:08her forehead and hugs her, which makes her have a flashback of the incident. Right next, she wakes

03:13up in an M or I room, where Dr. Nash makes her look at some pictures, which makes her very uncomfortable

03:19and she stops it. Dr. Nash tried to comfort her and gives her a picture of a friend called Claire.

03:24She asked about her to Ben, but he does not have any idea about her friend Claire. When she insists,

03:30Ben starts to reveal about her a bit and thinks maybe she moved to Canada, after Kristen's accident.

03:35When she wants to know more about her, he comes back with some pictures of Claire.

03:39According to Ben, Claire could not handle Christine not recognizing her, so she left.

03:45Later on she record herself saying do not trust Ben. Next day she gets a call from Dr. Nash and again

03:50makes her remember about their meetings. This leads to her looking at her last night's camera video,

03:55she suddenly noticed that few pictures are missing from yesterday. It was obvious that Ben had removed

04:01them. This was a big red flag for her. She starts to look through all the pictures and regain her

04:06memory of her friend Claire. Christine comes to a conclusion that she was once pregnant and had a

04:11child. When Ben arrives home, he reveals to her that their child is no more because of a disease.

04:17Ben proceed to open a small red box, in which there was pictures of their son Adam.

04:21She could not control herself and starts to cry. Christine is tired of starting her life back to

04:27back, every single day. This time she starts to get flashes of the incident. It was too much for

04:33her to take all this and she was totally confused. Later, she get rid off all the pictures with Ben

04:38and decide to go meet Dr. Nash. Inside the car she hold Dr. Nash's hand and ask if she should tell

04:44Ben about their therapy behind his back. Later on, she suggest her husband Ben to never hide about her son

04:50from herself no matter what happens. Suddenly, she gets flashback in which a name was written called

04:55Mike. Next day she meets up with Dr. Nash and reveals about the man's name who might have done

05:00all this to her. Mike would be his name. Dr. Nash starts to comfort Christine, suddenly she realized

05:06that he was the one who tried to take her life away. Right after Dr. gives her a sedative and she

05:11finds herself at home. She want to tell everything to Ben, but Dr. suggests her to not talk to him

05:16because he found something odd about him. At dinner Ben looks a bit suspicious. One day,

05:22Dr. Nash reveals to her that he cannot keep going treating her because that will be unethical.

05:26But she only want Dr. Nash to treat her. She gets to know that when she was in hospital care,

05:32she was transferred from psychiatric hospital to adult community care center in 2007 by Ben.

05:37He got to know from the hospital that her friend Claire wanted to get in contact with her.

05:42He also reveals that Ben divorced her 4 years ago. Later she asked about the divorce to Ben,

05:47all he had to say was because they had a little boy. He got really sick and they lost him,

05:52he was shattered and divorced her and then he came back. This leads to them hugging in the end.

05:57Next day, Claire calls her up and she starts to recall the memories about her.

06:02Claire tells her that she missed her every single day and missed her all these years.

06:06She has been waiting for this call for a long time. They decide to meet at the observatory in

06:11Greenwich. They meet up and could not believe each other's eyes. Both were on cloud 9 and give each

06:16other a warm hug. Christine asks her about the attacker. Claire tells her that she and Ben would

06:21argue a lot. She comes to a conclusion that Ben is protecting her. The reason Ben does not talk

06:27about Claire is because she slept with Ben once. At the time she did not know what was right.

06:32She suggests that she is really lucky to have Ben in her life. Christine does not want to listen to

06:37her anymore. This was enough for Christine to believe Ben and she starts to record herself

06:42that she loves Ben with all her heart. She even shows the video to Ben as well, but Ben noticed

06:47something that she said, that she said she will even tell him her secrets. She reveals to Ben,

06:52she had been getting therapy from Dr. Nash. Ben could not digest this and ends up slapping Christine.

06:58She calls Claire and tells her this incident, after which she decides to call Ben and sort things out.

07:03Meanwhile, she record about this incident and gets a call from Claire. She reveals that Ben has been

07:09living all alone for 4 years and she was shocked that she might be living with a stranger. Claire

07:14suggests that he might have a scar on the left side of his face. But he does not have any scar

07:19whatsoever. Claire confirms that the man is not Ben. In the heat she cannot even tell her address to

07:25Claire. Meanwhile Ben has arrived at home and proceed to open washroom. Right after she opens the door

07:31and finds no one outside. She tries to escape from the house, but gets caught by Ben. She

07:36again wakes up in the morning, not remembering anything. We are back at the first scene we

07:41encountered at the beginning. Where Dr. Nash calls her and she watches the camera video,

07:45in which she has told herself that Ben is her protector and savior, whom she love a lot.

07:50She also notices a bruise and gets called by Ben, who asks her about her well-being. Meanwhile,
