Before I Forget is a ferociously funny true tale about the impossibility of getting life right, told by a man trying to outrun his genes, his past, and his search history. Ancient Greece, artificial intelligence, Alzheimer’s, and open relationships collide in a wildly inventive odyssey through memory, mortality, and meaning.

Warning: May contain mushrooms, existential dread, and trace amounts of hope.
