"What is more real than the thoughts in your mind?”

Mnemophrenia is an anthology film. Three intertwining stories explore the effects of mnemophrenia whose main symptom is the involuntary blending of real and artificial memories, creating an identity crisis. The three main characters who live in different time periods, all placed in the future, are connected in three ways: by blood; by the condition itself, since they are all mnemophrenics; and by their shared interest in the ways that technology affects the human condition. Where most SF films present purely dystopian futures, Mnemophrenia offers an alternative: a glimpse of a technological society that can learn to embrace the different, where empathy can be downloaded, and where the merging of biological and digital may lead to a new humankind.
