"La Memoria del Agua"
1991
Directed by Hector Faver

This Spanish/Russian co-production is the story of Joseph Fruferman, who, during the last moments of his life, remembers his childhood in Russia and his adult life in France.  Interspliced with documentary footage and narrative, the images of his mother, late wife and daughter frame these poignant memories in a haunting black-and-white film. Just as water retains its memory even after its molecules separate, the film illustrates the endurance and power of love. Spanish and Russian dialog with English subtitles.
82 minutes.
