Basque producer Txintxua Films has joined Mexican company Colectivo Colmena to develop Mexican director Ernesto Martínez Bucio’s second feature, “This Is the Memory I Would Like to Have of Mom”. Selected for San Sebastián’s Europe-Latin America Co-Production Forum, the Spain-Mexico project marks its first major international industry presentation and seeks partners for further development.

The film follows 27-year-old Marina, who is grieving her mother’s death when she is diagnosed with cancer; recordings of her mother’s voice prompt her to create fictional tapes and memories. Written by Karen Plata and Martínez Bucio, whose debut “The Devil Smokes” won Berlin’s Perspectives Award, the project received Spanish screenplay support in 2025 and examines grief, family bonds and memory.
