In Wim Wenders' 1984 film "Paris, Texas," Walt (Dean Stockwell) picks up his younger brother Travis (Harry Dean Stanton), who had disappeared in the desert four years earlier, to drive him back to Los Angeles. As Walt drives, Travis shows him a weathered picture of an empty plot of land he bought in some nondescript part of Texas called Paris, a place he vaguely remembers. Over the course of the film Travis' memory returns as he connects his seemingly uninteresting photograph and the real vacant piece of landscape.
