The filmmaker finds himself in frequent conflict with his son, who is no longer the delightful child the father loved, but an argumentative young adult who inhabits virtual worlds available through the internet. To the father, the son seems to be addicted to and permanently distracted by those worlds. The filmmaker undertakes a journey to St. Quay-Portrieux in Brittany where he worked for a spring as a wedding photographer’s assistant at age 24 –slightly older than his son is now. He has not been back to St. Quay since that visit, and hopes to gain some perspective on what his own life was like when he was his son’s age. He also hopes to track down his former employer, a fascinating Frenchman named Maurice, and Maud, a woman with whom he was romantically involved during that spring 38 years ago. Photographic Memory is a meditation on the passing of time, the praxis of photography and film, digital versus analog, and the fractured love of a father for his son.

The film examines the effects that the soap operas have had on the lives of their female viewers from various regions, including the Balkans, the Middle East, and North Africa. The film uses interviews of women who view the soap operas, as well as those who act, produce, and write the television shows.The first Turkish soap opera that was aired internationally was Gümüş (also known as Noor in Arab nations) and was met with high viewership mostly due its popularity with women. Paschalidou depicts the television shows as acting not only as female fantasy represented on screen, but also as a vehicle for societal change.

Pierre Carles se demande pourquoi personne ne parle jamais du fait que la concession de la première chaîne de télévision à TF1/Bouygues a été renouvelée automatiquement depuis 1987 par le Conseil supérieur de l'audiovisuel, avec la complaisance de la classe politique. Pour ce faire, il prend sa caméra et son micro et entreprend d'aller interviewer des personnalités de la télévision française. Il comprend vite que la méthode qui avait fonctionné dans Pas vu pas pris ne marche plus. Il finit par s'interroger sur sa propre démarche et sur la critique des médias en général.
