Why watch this film?
Walking a thin line between documentary and fiction with The Mole Agent, Chilean filmmaker Maite Alberdi has demonstrated an impressive sensitivity and compassion in approaching subjects dealing with end-of-life illnesses. The Eternal Memory is no different. This documentary delves into the intimacy of journalist Augusto Góngora and his wife, Paulina Urrutia. He, however, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's eight years ago, and they now live with tenderness and patience, but fearing the day when he will no longer recognize her. The story is not only devastating – in the best sense of the word – for its inherent drama but is also an essay on memory itself and its fragility, as well as on the role of cinema as a document to preserve historical memory and raise awareness about the disease.

From the same director
The Mole Agent
Signed by Chilean filmmaker Maite Alberdi, director of feature films such as 'La Once' and 'The Grown-Ups' (for which she was awarded at the Amsterdam International Documentary Festival, the world's largest dedicated to the genre). This is where the great power of 'El agente topo' lies, as although it presents itself as a mystery fiction, it blurs the boundaries of that genre with documentary, resulting in the genius of a spy movie with revealing and emotional moments about the life of the elderly, full of cuteness and a fantastic sense of adventure. The film was selected at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival, awarded at the San Sebastian Festival of the same year, and nominated for an Oscar for Documentary.
