believe I am who I say I am.

Of course.

We'll be very careful.

Anything can happen

if you're interrogated by them.

I won't let that happen.

It's true, though,

these are difficult times

in Romania.

In truth...

I came here with the intention

of committing suicide.

I had saved an envelope

with enough strychnine in it

to end my empty life.

Please...

could you find me

a fictitious identity?

That's not a problem.

When your beard comes off,

you'll look like a man of 35,

or, um, 40, at most.

Don't worry.

You're handsome

without the beard, you know?

I have your jacket.

If you like, you can take me

to the movies sometime.

The sleeves are

too short.

And the tie is no good.

They look like

an old man's clothes.

Go with him.

I've seen that car before.

Last night in my dream.

Some people might say

that's a bad omen.

I'm not superstitious.

They're waiting for us.

Professor.

Welcome. Thank you, doctor.

There's wild roses

somewhere.

I want you to note down

all that passes through your mind.

All the books you've read,

all the languages you know,

everything, all the memories,

no matter how insignificant.

If you aren't in the mood

to write,

or if you have

too much to say,

use this device.

German, I'm sorry to say.

A wire recorder.

How do I operate this?

How do I operate this?

My memory...

My memory is unbelievable.

I have a surprise for you.

Soon you'll receive

all the things

from your home

in Piatra Neamt:

your reference books,

dictionaries,

personal belongings.

Ah.

The watch she gave me.

I've brought

your family album.

The one with your pictures

from lyce and the university.

What are you thinking?

What kind of memories?

What kind of associations?

When I look

at that photograph,

I sense the heat

of that morning.

The fragrance of the oleander.

Laura's scent.

Soap...

on her skin.

It's unforgettable.

She married someone else,

you know.

And a year later

she died in childbirth.

It was awful.

It's a kind of hypermnesia

with lateral effects.

It's...

too much,

and it's useless.

It seems useless

because we don't know yet

what to do with it,

with this fantastic

recovery of memory.

It's useless.

Soon it will be learned

that someone,

an old man of unknown origin,

was struck by lightning

and after 10 weeks

appeared perfectly healthy

and young again.

Let's hope the rest

will not be found out.

The anterior-posterior

diameter, 19 centimeters.

The height of the face,

And the length of

the nose, 6 centimeters.

The sexual

They are fully functional.

My opinion:
the patient

is clinically youthful.

I warned you there would be
