Memories of a Past

Ramón Aguirre is an old actor from the time of the Mexican Golden Cinema, whose years of fame are completely over. Locked away in his apartment in Tacubaya, afflicted by his unfortunate physical condition, as well as by the resounding change suffered in his city, Ramón only has two hobbies left, writing his memories and regrets in a small diary, mainly that of having lost the love of his life, Silvia, and spy through a small crack on his neighbor, Pedro, who is a writer who suffers from artistic block and constant phone fights with his fiancée, and with whom Ramón has developed a peculiar bond, despite of never having exchanged any word.

Directed by Walter Nino Pellecchia, Memories of a Past leans on a strong ensemble — Irineo Alvarez, Luis Fernando Jiménez Mayagoitia, Joana Palomino — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2022.
