Everyone has an ex they’d rather forget; now, you can. For Joel (Jim Carrey), the culmination of his on-again, off-again relationship with Clementine (Kate Winslet) is the erasure of him from her memory. Thanks to a breakthrough procedure from Dr. Howard Mierzwiak (Tom Wilkinson), he too can wipe the experience from his mind, but his heart is a different matter. As he courses through the years of make-ups and break-ups, though the memories fade, the love remains, but for how long? A visionary experiment in love from the minds of writer Charlie Kaufman and director Michel Gondry.
