Storyline

Over 300 years in the future, a team of researchers (lead by Frances de la Tour) attempt to view the memories of a long-dead man (Albert Finney). The modern backdrop is much changed but accurate to today's trends with terrorist threats making public excursions dangerous, cigarettes banned and technology forgetting keys but using touch pads. The research team stumble on the solution but it pushes them over their budget threatening cuts before they have begun. Can they discover the memories of the past before the present cuts them in favour of mass culture
