Synopsis "Las Palabras Perdidas"
Somos nuestra memoria, afirmaba Jorge Luis Borges. ¿Qué pasaría si cada uno de nuestros recuerdos comenzara a desaparecer? ¿Acaso también nos diluiríamos como sujetos?Victoria Dana nos muestra los devastadores efectos del síndrome de Pick, una enfermedad neurodegenerativa, no sólo en quien la padece, sino en todos aquellos que lo rodean. Las palabras perdidas explora esta situación a través de Blanca Hernández, una exitosa abogada y ama de casa que es diagnosticada con esta enfermedad. Para enfrentar la terrible realidad decide recurrir al diccionario como único método para aferrarse al lenguaje y la comprensión de un mundo que se le desvanece poco a poco.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONWe are our memory, stated Jorge Luis Borges. What would happen if each one of our memories started to disappear? Would we perhaps also dissolve as individuals?Victoria Dana shows us the devastating effects of Pick’s Disease, a neurodegenerative illness, not only on those who suffer from it, but also on all those around them. Lost Words explores this situation through Blanca Hernández, a successful lawyer and homemaker who is diagnosed with this disease. To face this terrible reality, she decides to turn to the dictionary as the only way to hang on to language and to comprehension of a world that is slowly fading from her.
