A man wrestles with memories and the future in equal measure, chasing the shadows of truth whilst avoiding telekinetic baddies. It's an exceptional sci-fi film in its own right, in the particular niche of 'dark moody oppressive government hi-tech but with psuedo art-deco architecture': aren't they all? Think Twelve Monkeys, Blade Runner, Brazil, The Matrix etc. It stands alone as an Australian film making acheivment - there just aren't other Australian films of this scale and kind.
