You and a friend each take on the role of either a psychotherapist or their patient, an elderly person whose memories have been mostly erased by late stage Alzheimer's. To preserve the essence of their being, the psychotherapist uses an experimental form of dialogic therapy to reveal the inner workings of their mind.
What the both of you uncover at first are the remnants of the patient’s hometown: a sparse piece of land in the countryside. Whatever buildings were first there have long since vanished, except for that of a 1950s schoolhouse. And by working alongside your patient, solving their riddles (in the form of haikus), you’ll be able to recover these locations from oblivion, and more importantly, the clues which will bring you closer to piecing together a picture of their core individuality.
