See Memory (2016)

The plot is loosely based upon Ordinary People, the 1980 film that explores the therapist patient relationship and the human need for a witness to our life stories. Directed by Robert Redford, the main character, played by Timothy Hutton, is a young man unable to communicate his suffering. He connects with a therapist played by Judd Hirsch, and through that connection and the ability to voice and define his story, he is able to come to terms with what had seemed unbearable. He leaves therapy with a new, empowered sense of his own identity and his place in the world. See Memory's main character is a young woman who we first meet walking through Central Park on a winter's day to her therapy session. She is alone and disconnected, lost within the world of her suffering, unable to decipher reality from dream. She enters the therapy room, and gradually is able to connect with the therapist, who bears witness to her story. She leaves the therapy room and re enters Central Park transformed by the experience of sharing her story. Walking through the same landscape, everything looks and feels completely different. Recent research in neuroscience has shown that far from being fixed, from the moment we recall them, memories are in flux, interacting and mingling with imagination. See Memory explores this idea in shifting layers of imagery with perception interacting with dreams and imagination. Narration from interviews with psychiatrists, and neuroscientists guide the imagery in the film.
