Memorias De Un Cuerpo Que Arde
Poetic portrait of three Costa Rican women who grew up in a repressive era and who, now they are in their seventies, look back candidly on their lives and their emotional and sexual development.
Premiere
Please note that this film is in Spanish, with Dutch subtitles.
Growing up in a repressive era when sexuality was a taboo subject, 68-year-old Ana, 69-year-old Patricia and 71-year-old Mayela developed their understanding of what it means to be a woman based on unspoken rules and implicit expectations. Now they dare to talk about it openly. The memories, secrets and longings of the three are interwoven in a poetic way: while the women tell their stories off-screen, they fill the body of another woman of their generation who incarnates their lives.
