I've always loved the move 50 First Dates: in case you haven't seen it, it's about a man who falls in love with a woman with a form of amnesia such that she forgets every night everything that happened to her that day. And so, he has to get her to fall in love with him all over again, every day.
I always thought, though, that the premise was a bit far-fetched; I couldn't see how that type of brain injury could be real. Especially when they go to the hospital and meet Ten-Second Tom.
But it turns out it is real. This man's memory gets wiped blank every seven seconds.
His and his wife's story is simultaneously heartbreaking and inspiring. And their love is beautiful and humbling.
