Memento is a psychological thriller film that tells the story of Leonard Shelby, a former insurance investigator who suffers from short-term memory loss, which prevents him from forming new memories. The film's narrative is presented in a non-linear fashion, with each scene leading backward in time.
As the story unfolds, Leonard's perception of reality is challenged, and he begins to question his own identity and motivations. The film's twist ending reveals that Leonard's memories of his wife's death may not be entirely accurate, and that he may have been manipulating himself into seeking revenge.
