In a near-future society where personal memories are remotely accessible, a private investigator known as “The Collector” surveils an adulterous couple. However, he soon realizes that he’s not the sole observer. As hidden truths surface, The Collector confronts the profound ethical implications of wielding this intrusive technology. The film delves into the erosion of human values and the perilous lack of discretion in our increasingly digital world.
