Graham (Noriega) suffers from severe amnesia and cannot remember what he has done hours after he has done it. Consequently, he must write everything down; who he knows, where he should be, even where he works. His boss takes advantage of his disability and manipulates him into having sex with her. Graham meets a temp called Irène and begins a relationship with her, which is difficult as he never remembers who she is. To help him remember, Irène writes her name on his chest with a marker pen.

A little boy called Antoine is frequently seen in the same places Graham happens to be. Graham doesn't notice this due to his condition, but it is clear to the viewer that the child is of significance. Through the machinations of his boss, Graham's notebook is stolen leading him into a misadventure to try and recover it.

In a state of confusion, Graham is left wandering naked on a beach where he sleeps through the night and the little boy, Antoine curls up next to him to sleep. In the morning it is revealed to Graham that Antoine is his son who wants him to come back home where Graham's wife, Isabelle, forgives him for his relationship with Irène as she knows he cannot help forgetting his family. Graham and Antoine are approached on the beach by the police who are concerned that a young boy is with a naked man. Graham's therapists are concerned at his behaviour and try to have him committed though he escapes with the aid of Antoine. He believes that his memory is returning and bids a fond farewell to Irène. The end of the film is ambiguous; it is not clear whether he returns to his wife and son or whether his memory problems take him in a totally different direction.
