People are abducted, disappear, are locked up or tortured. Amy works for a private security firm and can only guess at the corruption and violence that open up like an abyss behind its secret operations. When she decides to get out, she falls into the clutches of an opaque but brutal organisation. Her lostness mirrors a struggle to see what is real, as real and staged violence blur. What can she believe? Who is she? And above all, what happened on the day she cannot remember? A portrait of a young woman that asks where the individual stands as public life becomes ever more private business.
