Fractura

Mr. Watanabe, an atomic bomb survivor, feels like a fugitive from his own memory and is about to make one of the most crucial decisions of his life. The earthquake preceding the Fukushima disaster triggers a tectonic shift that stirs up the collective past. Four women recount their lives and their memories of Watanabe to an enigmatic Argentinian journalist, in a sentimental and political journey through cities like Tokyo, Paris, New York, Buenos Aires, and Madrid. This intersection of languages, countries, and couples reveals how nothing happens in just one place, how each event expands until it shakes the antipodes. It explores how societies remember and, above all, forget.
