Augusto and Paulina have been together for 25 years. Eight years ago, he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Both fear the day he no longer recognizes her.
“Telling a deeply personal story against a profound political backdrop, The Eternal Memory offers poignant testament to the power of love and remembrance.”
The love story of these two, and the way Pauli makes her way through extraordinarily difficult moments in which he is upset or frightened, feels surprising over and over.

Instructive on cognitive decline, but overall too slight to hit home.
