«La Jetée»

A filmic narration of the aftermath of a nuclear war. A few surviving humans begin researching time travel in search of food. The protagonist is a man with a single, vague childhood memory (of witnessing a murder at Orly airport, Paris). His journey leads him towards an enigmatic and paradoxical destiny.
