Plot
Forgotten Love is a universal story taking place during the interwar period about a respected surgeon professor Rafal Wilczur, who is at the peak of his successful medical career when his wife unexpectedly leaves him, taking with her his beloved daughter Marysia. Abandoned by his wife, he falls victim to a mugging and as a result of head injuries loses his memory. [2] Following the mugging he is presumed dead, but resurfaces 15 years later in the countryside, no longer aware of his identity with complete loss of memory. However, even after years of amnesia, professor Wilczur has some intermittent memories of his daughter and is able to practice his profession. When he crosses paths with his daughter once again, he is reminded about his love for her. [3]

Reception
Forgotten Love boasts a strong screenplay, reminiscent of Victor Hugo's great novels of the 19th century. The film has a well-developed subplot, good set design, photography, immersive music, and a well-paced story. It is a story with a strong sense of justice that holds a profound belief in the goodness of humanity. At times, it may seem old-fashioned, and a bit naive, but Forgotten Love manages to create a movie about the goodness of humanity, even in difficult circumstances. [4]
