Joel's girlfriend Clementine doesn't recognize him; he quickly learns that she used a medical treatment to remove all memories of him from her memory. Joel decides to get the same treatment to remove all memories of her. During the process (that lasts the whole night), he relives all the memories, and suffers when they disappear. The first memories are the most recent, where the couple was already fighting, but when it comes near the end of the night and the good memories start to disappear, he tries to hide them to keep them. At the end of the night however, he has totally forgotten her. But he is unconsciously drawn to a beach where he meets Clementine; they start a new relationship, oblivious of the previous one. They soon receive letters from the doctor's secretary, who, having left her employer after discovering that she had had a relationship with him and had willingly accepted to have it erased from her memory, has decided that patients should know rather than not. Joel and Clementine listen to the recordings of their interview with the doctor and each other's complaints about the other's behaviour, but eventually decide to try having a relationship again.
