The Chronology of Water

Based on writer and educator Lidia Yuknavitch’s memoirs, Kristen Stewart’s directorial debut is an uncompromising depiction of love, trauma and artistic self-expression.

A journey through the sensuous and the sensual, Stewart’s film chronicles Yuknavitch’s life as she experiences and processes childhood abuse, first love, addiction and grief. Led by a raw and magnetic performance from Imogen Poots, The Chronology of Water confirms Stewart as one of this generation’s great talents – both in front of the camera and behind it.
