Although the house and everything inside seem the same, the appearance of a woman in the French Resistance, on the run from her Nazi captors, make them question if Robert may just be telling the truth.

In the wake of a global neurological epidemic, those who remain search for meaning and connection in a world without memory. Five interwoven stories explore life without recollection in a future that has no past. A boy longs for a role model, a young man embraces his rage, a teacher hunts for a cure, a couple clings to each other desperate to preserve their feelings, and a young woman wants nothing more than to forget. Filled with intense performances and breathtaking cinematography, this is the rare science fiction film that excels in its lack of exposition. An atmospheric tone poem in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, EMBERS captures the human condition, stripped away of everything but personality and instinct.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(Saturday, 8:15)<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 584px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-4044-1\" width=\"584\" height=\"329\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/d2pq0u4uni88oo.cloudfront.net\/projects\/731467\/video-311175-h264_high.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/d2pq0u4uni88oo.cloudfront.net\/projects\/731467\/video-311175-h264_high.mp4\">https:\/\/d2pq0u4uni88oo.cloudfront.net\/projects\/731467\/video-311175-h264_high.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Polder<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.revolutionsf.com\/revblogs\/geekcurmudgeon\/files\/2015\/12\/visual_heidi.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4049\" src=\"http:\/\/www.revolutionsf.com\/revblogs\/geekcurmudgeon\/files\/2015\/12\/visual_heidi.jpg\" alt=\"RZ_Polder_Flyer_A6.indd\" width=\"620\" height=\"874\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_17_2_2_1447829328124_490851\" style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Julian M.
