Storyville - Season 28 - Eps 4: The Eternal Memory
An extraordinary portrait of unconditional love and devotion directed by Oscar-nominated documentary director Maite Alberdi. Augusto Góngora and Paulina Urrutia have been a couple for 23 years. Augusto is one of Chile's most prominent cultural journalists and television presenters, whose work was dedicated to publicising and ensuring that the atrocities of the Pinochet dictatorship were never forgotten. His wife, Pauli, is an actress who also served as the Minister of Culture and Arts. Eight years ago, Augusto was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and since then, Pauli has been caring for him. As Augusto’s memory slowly deteriorates, Pauli’s unwavering support is tested as they both try to maintain his identity despite the challenges of his illness. Each day, the couple face the difficulties caused by Alzheimer's disease, but they also maintain a tenderness and sense of humour that binds them together.
