​Augusto Góngora is a journalist who recorded the fever of the democracy movement in the 1970s, which was the darkest moment in Chilean history. He was a member of the television newsgroup, and he was a naturally respected figure for his contribution to the recovery of the democratic values suppressed by the authoritarian government. The Eternal Memory captures how Góngora, a symbol of hope and a better tomorrow, fights against Alzheimer’s disease and follows the days of Góngora and his wife, Paulina Urrutia, who is a former Minister of Culture and an actress. The film is a mixture of present videos, past home movies, and archival footage. Alzheimer’s disease is shifted into a question on the essence of memory in order to cover the disease with metaphors of history and memory. In the film, Góngora recalls the horrors of the Pinochet regime. Although it’s only a small part of the film, it implies how Chile’s dark history damaged his brain. The Eternal Memory is pointed out as the favorite and the most beautiful film in the international film festival, and it shows the deep love of the old couple, their contribution to Chilean journalism and democracy, and what the legacy of the times means in the present. The beautiful and truthful film delivers messages on things taken away by the weakening body, a history that never disappears, and memories.
