The Chronology of Water

Growing up in an environment torn apart by violence and alcohol, a young woman struggles to find her path. She manages to escape her family and enters university, where she finds refuge in literature. Gradually, words offer her an unexpected freedom…
De zwemster en olympisch belofte Lidia Yuknavitch krijgt een studiebeurs in Texas en ontvlucht hiervoor haar agressieve vader en aan alcoholverslaafde moeder. Haar neiging naar alcohol en drugs kost haar echter haar beurs waarna ze in Oregon haar kans waagt. Drugs en alcohol blijven een rode draad in haar leven waarin ze met haar biseksualiteit moet zien om te gaan. De algemene chaos in haar bestaan ruimt doorheen de jaren plaats voor een carrière als auteur en lerares en de liefde voor haar echtgenoot en zoon.
