THE MEMORY THIEF is the story of Lukas - an aimless, young man in contemporary L.A. who buries thoughts of his own past in the humdrum routine of a tollbooth clerk. A chance encounter with a Holocaust survivor suddenly brings into focus a world and an identity he embraces with frightening intensity - the victimized Jews of World War II. As he begins to enthusiastically act out his newfound obsession, Lukas, a non-Jew, discovers that survivor's guilt isn't just for the Jews anymore. THE MEMORY THIEF, starring Mark Webber, is a mesmerizing, audacious psychological thriller in the tradition of TAXI DRIVER.

When an aimless tollbooth attendant (Mark Webber) without a memory of his own past is given a video of a holocaust survivor's testimony, he embarks on a remarkable and troubling journey that leads him to believe he himself is a survivor. Along the way, he strikes up an unlikely friendship with an actual survivor and his lovely daughter. Directed by Gil Kofman, this provocative psychological drama co-stars Rachel Miner and Jerry Adler.
