Plot Summary: After a fight, Joel Barish (played by Jim Carrey) discovers that his girlfriend Clementine Kruczynski (played by Kate Winslet) has had her memories of him erased by the New York City firm Lacuna. Heartbroken, he decides to undergo the same procedure. In preparation, he records a tape for Lacuna, recounting his memories of their volatile relationship. As the Lacuna employees work on Joel's brain as he sleeps in his apartment so that he will wake up with no memory of Clementine, Joel re-experiences his memories of Clementine as they are erased, starting with their last fight. As he reaches earlier, happier memories, he realizes that he does not want to forget her. They ultimately have to determine if love with pain is better or worse than no love at all.
