Hidden Memory

A young soldier returns from war and uses drugs to remember a painful childhood event that has haunted him for years, finally learning what really happened when his father vanished and why his mother kept the truth hidden.

The persistence of memory in a troubled American family is illuminated when a young war veteran, under narcosis, relives a childhood trauma that had long crippled him and kept his mother from showing the truth about his father’s disappearance.

Sodium amyl, taken to relive the traumatic moment that cost Evan the use of his legs, totally cures his paralysis. But the medication also leaves him with a remarkable side effect: Evan now has total recall not only of his own past but that of his strange family as well.
