...Eternal Sunshine, Carrey and Winslet are Joel and Clem, two sad sacks trapped in a dead-end, no-hope, kill-me-now love affair in small-town Long Island, N.Y. They can't stand each other, and they can't break up. Out of desperation Clem undergoes a medical procedure that wipes all traces of Joel from her memory. When Joel finds out about it, he goes to the same doctor to have Clem erased too. It's a love story, but it's also an existential head scratcher, an endless M.C. Escher escalator.

So he sticks his head in Dr. M.'s apparatus--an Ed Wood--style space helmet mixed with a hair dryer--but, as his mind swims through the memory-erasure process, he decides that even the rotten memories of Clem are worth treasuring. How to stop all this, escape...
