A look into a world where people can become implanted with a 'Zoe' chip that records their memories from the time they are in the womb. In this world the movie's main character is the 'cutter' Alan: a technician that selectively edits the memories of the dead for their loved ones to remember. But there are those who wish to end this technology. To this end they need the raw footage from an employee of the company that developed it. Alan himself is deeply interested in this employee's memories when he discovers in them a man who might be the same boy he remembers as having died in childhood. In the middle of the film the employee's memories are destroyed beyond repair. But it turns out that, unbeknownst to him, Alan himself was implanted with one of the 'Zoe' chips --- a big no-no for a cutter. Alan ends up being killed for his memories of editing the employee's memories.

The movie is melancholic. It plays on memory and guilt over our memories. It is not a great movie, but I think it is better than it is given credit for. Its main aim is to show the evils that the 'Zoe' chips would bring into the world.
