Prescribed daily tasks on cassette tapes so he can create new memories and document them on camera, Aris slides back into ordinary life, meeting Anna, a woman who is also in recovery. Through images deadpan, strange and surreal, Greek writer-director Christos Nikou posits a beguiling reflection on memory, identity, and loss, exploring how a society might handle an irreversible epidemic through one man’s story of self-discovery. Are we the sum of the images we compile and display of ourselves, or are we something richer, and deeper?

When a lethal disease suddenly infects Kiddi's sheep, the entire valley comes under threat. The movies in August: August 19: Genevieve (1953) United Kingdom Two young couples participate in the Vintage Car Rally, a yearly race from London to Brighton. The title "character" is the 1904 Darracq automobile. At first treating the race as a lark, the two couples become increasingly--and hilariously--competitive as they near the finishing line. August 26: Force Majeure (2015) France An idyllic family skiing vacation takes a stunning turn when an avalanche threatens the ski lodge restaurant, sending people fleeing and demanding quick decisions that change the course of the family dynamics and trust. September 2: Night of the Kings (2020) Côte d'Ivoire A young man is sent to "La Maca", a prison of Ivory Coast in the middle of the forest ruled by its prisoners.
