A series of questions and statements unfolds around the experience and revelation of living with epilepsy. Through a collage of archival footage and fragmented images, Reem searches for the memory she lost during her first seizure. The film weaves together fragments that evoke the poetic and fragile symbols surrounding a convulsion, the before, the after, and the in-between. Childhood and memory accompany this journey, where the act of remembering becomes a way of resisting oblivion and confronting the fleeting nature of a seizure.
