Incognito
Three interwoven stories exploring the nature of identity and how we are defined by what we remember, Incognito is an exhilarating exploration of what it means to be human.
About Incognito
Incognito
1955, the USA: Thomas performs the autopsy of Albert Einstein. 1953, England: Henry undergoes pioneering brain surgery which changes his life. In present day London: Martha, a clinical neuropsychologist, starts to make radically different choices after the collapse of her marriage. Three interwoven stories exploring the nature of identity and how we are defined by what we remember, Incognito is an exhilarating exploration of what it means to be human.
"The brain builds a narrative to steady us from moment to moment, but it is absolutely an illusion. There is no me, there is no you, and there is certainly no self."
