About the Film

SYNOPSIS

Eric and Cate live and work on Mars and must fulfil their contract to the all-powerful Erasure Institute. The Erasure Institute has mastered the technology of "erasing", which removes emotional pain and trauma. Eric begins to suspect that the Institute’s work may have a darker side. At the same time, Cate is haunted by inexplicable and disturbing memories. Cate decides that voluntary erasure might be her only way out. 


Can love be erased?
