Memories of a Burning Body

Repression and taboos have shaped the image of womanhood for Ana (68), Patricia (69) and Mayela (71). Their stories poetically combine to form a kaleidoscope of memories, secrets and longings that are incarnated by another woman’s body. Memories of a Burning Body is a beautiful film about three real women and their experiences growing up in a repressive society in Costa Rica. They didn’t want to be filmed so the filmmaker recorded their voices and used actors to portray their memories and stories about life, love and what it means to be a woman.
