The Memory of Water (Spanish; Castilian: La memoria del agua) is a 2015 Chilean drama film written and directed by Matías Bize. It was screened in the Venice Days section at the 72nd Venice International Film Festival.[1] [2] It won the Colón de Oro for best director at the 2015 Festival de Cine Iberoamericano de Huelva.[3]
Amanda (played by Elena Anaya) and Javier (played by Benjamín Vicuña) separate after the death of their son. Each of them tries to rebuild their life in their own way: she through grief, and he through escapism. Together, they embark on a journey that could bring them back together as a couple, but they also come to realize that love alone is not enough to overcome the tragedy they have experienced.
