　　執掌潛意識和夢境的，是同一個導演。
　　白晝，他把洋溢著幸福光影的故國景物一幕幕送給伊蓮娜，
　　到了黑夜，他策畫的回歸卻令人驚惶，目的地是同樣的國度。
　　白晝，那遭人遺棄的美麗國度閃耀著，
　　到了黑夜，換成航向故國的恐怖回歸在發光。
　　白晝在她面前呈現的，是她失去的天堂，
　　夜晚所展示的，則是她逃離的地獄。

　　Irena and Josef meet by chance while returning to their homeland, which they had abandoned twenty years earlier. Will they manage to pick up the thread of their strange love story, interrupted almost as soon as it began and then lost in the tides of history? The truth is that after such a long absence "their memories no longer match."
