And the numbers, in all of their articulate order, reveal a sheltering and poetic world to both the Housekeeper and her young son. Though he cannot hold memories for long (his brain is like a tape that begins to erase itself every eighty minutes), the Professor’s mind is still alive with elegant equations from the past. She is an astute young Housekeeper, with a ten-year-old son, who is hired to care for him.Īnd every morning, as the Professor and the Housekeeper are introduced to each other anew, a strange and beautiful relationship blossoms between them. He is a brilliant math Professor with a peculiar problem-ever since a traumatic head injury, he has lived with only eighty minutes of short-term memory.
