This acclaimed documentary chronicles filmmaker Michelle Memran’s decade-long creative collaboration with legendary Cuban-American playwright María Irene Fornés. When Fornés stopped writing due to Alzheimer’s, their friendship—and the camera—sparked a new artistic practice, capturing the brilliance, humor and intimate bond that deepened between them.
