It’s also worth mentioning that after its award-winning performance at Sundance, The Eternal
Memory, is screened in the Panorama section of the Berlinale. Maite Alberdi's fifth film deals with the topic of Alzheimer's, already present in two of her previous works: the short film Yo no soy de aquí (2016) and her previous work El agente topo (2020), but from the perspective of a married couple is newly illuminated.
The film, which won the Grand Prize of the World Cinema Jury at Sundance a few weeks ago highlights the life of actress Paulina (53) and her husband Augusto (70), a journalist. They have been a couple for 25 years and eight years ago he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Since then, they have been afraid that the day will come when he will no longer recognize them.
