The year is 2044: artificial intelligence controls all facets of a stoic society as humans routinely 'erase' their feelings. Hoping to eliminate pain caused by their past-life romances, Gabrielle (Lea Seydoux) continually falls in love with different incarnations of Louis (George MacKay). Set first in Belle Epoque-era Paris, Louis is a British man who woos her away from a cold husband. Then in early 21st Century Los Angeles, he is a disturbed American bent on delivering violent 'retribution'. Will the process allow Gabrielle to fully connect with Louis in the present, or are the two doomed to repeat their previous fates? Inspired by Henry James' novella The Beast In The Jungle.
