Sylvia lives a carefully structured life, keeping her painful past firmly under control. Everything changes when Saul, a man she barely remembers from high school, follows her home after a reunion. As an unexpected bond develops, both are drawn into a journey through memory, trauma, and forgiveness. Their encounter opens old wounds but also offers a chance for connection and renewal.

Rialto Recommends MEMORY is a tender, quietly devastating drama about the past we try to manage and the connections that slip through our defences. Jessica Chastain and Peter Sarsgaard bring remarkable delicacy to a story of trauma, recognition and emotional repair. Intimate, humane and deeply affecting, it is a film that listens closely to broken lives.
