La memoria del agua

A moment of inattention is all it took to change the lives of Javier and Amanda forever. Lives that are now divided between "before" and "after". How everything was and should have been. Even though it was an accident that neither of them could have prevented. The young couple know that it will take a long time to reach closure on the death of their four-year-old son. At home, everything reminds them of their child; their loss has fractured their marriage. Especially Amanda is unable to bear the constant pain and takes the decision to leave Javier and plunge herself into her work as an interpreter. Javier continues to work as an architect, but begins a lonely descent into casual relationships, sex and work. Amanda, meanwhile, returns to something like normality with her ex-boyfriend Marcos. Yet Javier and Amanda never completely lose contact and gradually realize that the past they share is one-of-a-kind, a precious memory that should not be forgotten.
