Transferred to a rural area after a tragic incident, a brilliant detective from Taipei hides his post-traumatic amnesia. Assigned to investigate the kidnapping of an heir, he falls into a trap.

Although less well-known internationally than Miike or Kitano, Sabu has, film after film, created works of rare artistic freedom that have earned him a loyal fan base. With Arrested Memory, he is at the peak of his art: an amnesiac cop, a kidnapping that spirals into chaos, irresistible characters, and gags that will have you roaring with laughter, all with a touch of melancholy. 87 minutes of pure pleasure, the perfect interlude in the midst of the festival.
