Memorias De Un Cuerpo Que Arde (Memories Of A Burning Body) - English subtitled
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.
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.
