While writing a monograph on historical theories of memory, Béatrice (Anne Laure Sellier), a respected academic, becomes beguiled by the allegedly true story of the Chronovisor, an occult device said to reproduce visuals from any point in history on a TV screen. Her obsession with the mysterious machine drags her from her Upper East Side apartment through the depths of New York City’s hidden libraries, to the edge of a breakthrough. The directorial debut of filmmakers Jack Auenn and Kevin Walker.

"Rarely has a film so resourcefully evoked the transportive but decidedly analog thrill of reading."
"It is a small wonder that Auen and Walker should succeed in turning scholarly research into the stuff of a thriller; it is a much bigger one that their erudite film should convey the discombobulating power of its ideas, and the dizzying effect that comes from bringing those out of a library—or a movie theatre—and into the world."
