The story

Joel Barish discovers that his estranged ex-girlfriend, Clementine Kruczynski, has undergone a procedure to have her memories of him erased by the suburban Long Island firm Lacuna.

The Lacuna employees work on Joel's brain as he sleeps in his apartment so that he will wake up with no memory of the procedure.

Joel re-experiences his memories of Clementine in reverse chronological order as they are erased, starting with their last fight.
