1996年7月，来自英国的两位兄弟驾车行驶在美国的高速公路上。

In July 1996, two British brothers drove across American highways.

漫长的行驶途中，乔纳森聊起了一个短篇小说的故事构想。

During the long drive, Jonathan shared an idea for a short story.

故事讲的是一个失去妻子、又丧失短期记忆的男人。

It was about a man who lost his wife and his short-term memory.

他领悟到：“讲这个故事的唯一方法，就是倒叙。”

He realized, "The only way to tell the story is backwards."

彩色场景一路向过去倒流，而黑白场景则按时间正序向前推进。

The color scenes move backwards, while the black-and-white scenes move forward.

下一集，一位勇敢的独立制片人把赌注押在一场为期二十五天的拍摄上。

Next time, a brave independent producer gambles on a twenty-five-day shoot.
