The official synopsis of the film describes the novel as a “lyrical journey through a life saved by art,” adding that it centers on a young woman who finds her voice through the written word and her salvation as a swimmer – ultimately becoming a triumphant teacher, mother, and a singular modern writer. “To make that experience physical feels vital to me and what this impulse means…is that it absolutely must be a film.” “Lidia’s memoir honors corporeal experience, radically,” Stewart said in a press statement. Stewart has been linked to “Chronology of Water” since 2018. Michael Pruss also produces, with Rebecca Feuer serving as an executive producer.

Ridley Scott’s Scott Free productions are producing the feature alongside co-writer Mingo. “If I don’t make this movie before the end of the year, I’ll die,” Stewart said. Stewart told IndieWire at 2022 Cannes that if “The Chronology of Water” didn’t come together with financing this year, she would take drastic measures. Stewart previously called Yuknavitch’s writing “so physical and so fiercely, ragingly female.” “The Chronology of Water” focuses on author Yuknavitch coming to terms with her bisexuality, addiction issues, and involvement with the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions movement opposing Israeli oppression of Palestine. The “Twilight” alum is set to make her feature directorial debut with the adaptation of Lidia Yuknavitch’s memoir, “The Chronology of Water.” Imogen Poots is confirmed to star in the lead role, with Stewart co-writing the script.
