ENGLISH DESCRIPTION We are our memory, stated Jorge Luis Borges. What would happen if each one of our memories started to disappear? Would we perhaps also dissolve as individuals? Victoria Dana shows us the devastating effects of Picks Disease, a neurodegenerative illness, not only on those who suffer from it, but also on all those around them. Lost Words explores this situation through Blanca Hern�ndez, a successful lawyer and homemaker who is diagnosed with this disease. To face this terrible reality, she decides to turn to the dictionary as the only way to hang on to language and to comprehension of a world that is slowly fading from her.
