MEMORY
A film by
Andrea Pelaez
Memory is inspired by the racial and cultural diversity of Latin America, explores the themes of mental health, isolation and the imagination of a senior feminine artist, “Florecita”, who keeps growing in her mind whilst the body that she has lived in so vibrantly in the past is painfully shutting down.
We begin with Florecita completely alone in her home. As she sits listening to music, memories begin to flood into her of her past life as a dancer. A strange encounter pulls her out of the isolation of her house and she goes on a journey through the city of Bogota, meeting diverse performers of different ages, genders and backgrounds, all remembrances of her life’s story. At each stage these memories appear to her through different global styles of dance, moving from love, nostalgia, joy to pain when she finally finds herself in the bustling centre of the city alone and confused. Her memory fading away...
