Prosopagnosia is a cognitive disorder that prevents sufferers from being able to recognize faces. In this short film, a woman is found murdered in her apartment, and the only witness is her best friend, who suffers from prosopagnosia. Naturally, not everything is as it seems.

Hugo Keijzer directed Prosopagnosia, not a science fiction film, but an interesting example of using a real aspect of cognitive perception to build a mystery. The result is a highly entertaining, if tragic, crime drama.
