Synopsis
Lesson in Forgetting asks whether love alone can suffice when everything else is lost. In this two-character story featuring award-winning Canadian actors Andrew Moodie and Ma-Anne Dionisio, HE has suffered a massive brain trauma as a result of a car crash some years earlier; ever since, the only thing he can remember is how much he loves his wife. SHE, confined to caring for him for the rest of her days, wishes for nothing more than for him to forget that he loves her so that she might yet start over on her own path of life.
