From acclaimed director Atom Egoyan, Remember tells the story of Zev Guttman (Christopher Plummer), a 90-year-old struggling with memory loss in a retirement home.

Following the death of his wife, Zev receives a mysterious package from his close friend Max (Martin Landau), containing a letter detailing a shocking plan. Both Zev and Max are survivors of Auschwitz, and the same sadistic guard murdered both of their families – a guard who has lived in the U.S. under an assumed identity since he escaped after the war.

With Max’s guidance, Zev embarks on a cross-continental journey to settle the score with the man who destroyed both their lives.
