- Summary:
- By 2044, artificial intelligence reigns, and human emotions must be surgically removed to produce a more pliant workforce. But this procedure triggers Gabrielle (Léa Seydoux) to experience haunting memories of her past lives, as she encounters different incarnations of her paramour, Louis (George MacKay). As she once more undergoes the pains and pleasures of romance-and rediscovers what it means to be truly alive-Gabrielle awaits the erasure of her humanity with growing fascination and dread
