The second feature from director
Michel Gondry (

Charlie Kaufman for this off-the-wall
romantic comedy.

Joel Barish, a man who is informed that his ex-girlfriend
Clementine (
Kate Winslet) has had her memories of their relationship erased from her brain via an experimental procedure performed by
Dr. Mierzwiak (
Tom Wilkinson). Not to be outdone,
Joel decides to have the same procedure done to himself. As
Mierzwiak's bumbling underlings Stan (

Joel -- over the course of an evening, in his apartment --
Joel struggles in his own mind to save the memories of
Clementine from being deleted.
