WHAT IF ONE MORNING... YOUR MOTHER LOOKED AT YOU AND SAW A STRANGER?
Not because she forgot you - but because her brain could no longer recognize your face.
In 2028, a mysterious epidemic begins in Toronto and spreads across the world.
It's not a virus. Not a war. It's something far more personal.
People wake up and realize they can no longer recognize the faces they love.
Doctors call it
Collective Facial Aphasia (CFA)
- a psychological epidemic born from years of screens, filters, and fractured attention. Humanity hasn't gone blind; it has simply stopped
looking.
As chaos spreads,
Dr. Noor Rahman
, a neuroscientist haunted by her late father's unfinished research, races to find a cure before her own mother forgets her completely. In a society addicted to artificial perfection, Noor discovers that the key to healing may lie in something profoundly analog - attention, memory, and love itself.
When governments and corporations race to commercialize the cure, Noor defies them all. Her 30-day "Analog Recognition Protocol" becomes a global act of rebellion - a movement to bring humanity back to presence, compassion, and connection.
But as the world begins to remember, Noor faces the deepest question of all:
Can love survive a world that has forgotten how to see?
The Faces We Forgot
is a haunting, poetic, and deeply emotional journey through memory, technology, and the human heart. Blending the realism of
Never Let Me Go
with the visionary tone of
Black Mirror
, it reminds us that the cure for blindness was never sight - it was empathy.
