Txintxua Films Joins Forces with Martínez Bucio for New Grief Exploration

Txintxua Films, known for its successful Netflix series "Intimacy," has partnered with Mexican director Ernesto Martínez Bucio on his upcoming feature, "This Is the Memory I Would Like to Have of Mom." This poignant film, produced alongside Colectivo Colmena, delves into themes of grief, memory, and family ties.

The project, selected for the San Sebastián Europe-Latin America Co-Production Forum, follows 27-year-old Marina as she grapples with her mother’s passing and her own cancer diagnosis.
