Adapted from Lidia Yuknavitch’s memoir about surviving childhood sexual abuse and finding an outlet for her pain in writing, the drama also features Thora Birch, Jim Belushi and Earl Cave.

Imogen Poots seizes the screen as Lidia Yuknavitch, who embraces swimming and sex and drugs and anger, all to make herself whole.

Twilight’s Kristen Stewart has stepped behind the camera to make The Chronology of Water, a story ‘screaming out to be a movie’, she says.
