Grief-stricken over his partner's death, Gavin
Winters sets fire to every physical reminder in
the couple's home. A neighbor captures the
ordeal on video, turning this unsung TV actor
into a household name. Now Gavin is fleeing
the hysteria of Los Angeles for New Jersey,
hoping to find peace with the family of an old
friend. Instead, he finds Joan.
Joan, the family's ten-year-old daughter,
was born with the rare ability to recall every
day of her life in cinematic detail. In seconds,
she can tell you how many times her mother
has uttered the phrase "it never fails" in the
last six months (twenty-seven) or what she was
wearing when her grandfather took her fishing
on a particular Sunday in June years ago (tox
socks). Joan has never met Gavin until now,
but she did know his partner, Sydney, and wait-
ing inside her uncanny mind are a half dozen
startlingly vivid memories to prove it.
Unable to resist, Gavin strikes a deal with
Joan: in exchange for sharing all her memories
of Sydney, Gavin will help Joan win a local
songwriting contest she's convinced could
make her unforgettable. The unlikely duo set
off on their quest until Joan reveals unexpected
details about Sydney's final months, forcing
Gavin to question not only the purity of his
past with Sydney but the course of his own
immediate future.
old in the alternating voices of these,
two irresistible characters, The Reminders is
a hilarious and tender exploration of loss,
memory, friendship, and renewal,
