Lost love letters to an almost forgotten past.

Synopsis

1990 was the year the first letter was written. Through the writings of a broken woman, from this letter and the others that followed, the puzzle of a fragmented mind is built.

Clinging to the memories that haunted and comforted her, she tries to rebuild her broken identity, confessing her most secret thoughts to the great loves that she has lost: her husband and her daughter.

Director’s Statement

Our experiences make us who we are, and are nothing more than just memories that we keep and that cease to be real as soon as they happen.

The memories of what we lived are different for each of us, even though we all lived exactly the same. As soon as they become memories, they are the perception of what each one had at each moment, and this is fascinating. So fascinating that I try to explore it to the fullest in my cinema, a cinema that works with memories in all the narrative aspects of the story.

The images, the voices, the sounds, the music, the feelings. Everything a film is capable of conveying. And even the memory that we keep of a film, it transforms in each one of us depending on the memories that we have previously lived.

None of us knows what the first memory of his life was, and possibly no one remembers it anymore, but it was the most important, because from it, all the perception of the rest was modified one after the other.

But if our memory is so important for us to know who we are or where we come from, what strength and impact does someone else’s memory have in our lives?
