Tom (Sasha Roiz), an ambitious scientist, has developed a revolutionary technical process that allows him to transfer himself into the minds of other people. He is actually hoping to use his invention to provide financial security for his young family and do some good at the same time - for example, to help traumatized children. However, the one who comes knocking at Tom's dedicated agent's door with a lot of money is the law enforcement agency: Tom is to “log into” the brains of serious criminals to see if they have committed the crime they are accused of. But when Tom starts his experiment and enters the mind of a drug criminal (Dominic Bogart) to find out whether the suspicion of murder is true, a technical glitch occurs. The connection is severed and Tom is hopelessly trapped in the mind of the felon... Nir Paniry's sci-fi mind game relies less on visual effects than on a dense atmosphere and a thought-provoking open ending. Despite a limited budget, “Extracted”, as the original title goes, turns out to be a multi-layered story that focuses on the reliability of memories and the limits of scientific responsibility. This makes “Memory Effect” an introspective but nonetheless captivating genre gem of remarkable staging clarity.
