A man (Carruth) and woman (Amy Seimetz) are drawn together, entangled in the lifecycle of an ageless organism. Identity becomes an illusion as they struggle to assemble the loose fragments of wrecked lives. Nearly a decade after the release of his critically-acclaimed sci-fi drama Primer, Shane Carruth returns with enigmatic romantic thriller Upstream Color. As emotional and atmospheric as Primer was clinical, Upstream Color plays with genre and narrative form to invite audiences into discussions of collective memory, love and fundamental togetherness.
