The first trailer for Kristen Stewart's directorial debut titled The Chronology of Water has been released by the makers. The film stars Imogen Poots, Thora Birch, Susannah Flood, Tom Sturridge, Kim Gordon, Michael Epp and Jim Belushi in leading roles and is based on a memoir by Lidia Yuknavitch.

The almost two-minute-long trailer gives a glimpse into the highs and lows of Lidia Yuknavitch. According to the film's plotline, "The Chronology of Water traces Lidia’s life from her earliest memories in the Pacific Northwest, as a promising swimmer, through fractured relationships, near-motherhood, addiction, and encounters with artistic heroes."

"The story transforms trauma into art, embodying Yuknavitch’s defiant voice that made her work a modern cult classic. It is not only a chronicle of a woman becoming a writer, but a visceral journey through the wreckage and resilience of a life lived against the grain," it further read in its description.

According to the makers, The Chronology of Water "is a raw and unflinching portrait of survival, sexuality, and self-invention."

The film, which had its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, is set to hit select theatres on December 05 after which it will get a wider release on January 09, 2026.
