A couple have each other erased from their memories.
One of those movies where I always forget how good it is. It evokes this strange feeling, like waking up from a sad dream to find out everything's okay - a particular sort of beautiful joy that can only come out of sadness.

Clever and moving film. I'm no fan of Jim Carrey, but he was a good sort of everyman in this.
