Plot / themes
The eternal man. A man with only 10 days of memories. A device with all knowledge - very easy to grasp, that since the device is a hand, missing 3 fingers, it is not complete. The last man in the future - a hero. A war. The man accepts death. The device goes on, with an added finger. And the (eternal) man is easy to revive. A woman falling in love with the man - hm... Unwilling killer. Neither wants to kill, but choose to do it anyway. Ah - a twist. And a tragedy. For them both.
The repeated question: what is going on?
Plot in short
Relevant - reluctance to kill - the impossible love - yeah.
Relevancy of plot

Methinks the enemy is a bit careless with the hand and the 3 fingers.

Mileage
I'll have to see it again to make up my mind - it is either very deep or very shallow... So far: 5/10.
