A man is tasked with slipping into his past, aided by the influence of a prominent mental image, to seek resources for the catrastrophe of World War III. Marker's film is like a fictitious essay, delving into the relationships we form with striking images within our memories - authentic memories, false ones, and misremembered ones.
