Dr Anna’s cosy evening is disrupted by a sudden visit from a female stranger. The stranger is her husband’s lover, who has come for a bracelet left in the family sheets. Anna’s life is changed not only by the instant destruction of her long-standing marriage, but also by the terrible choice between life and death that she has to make.

DIRECTOR´S NOTE

Perfect Anna is a short story about a big tragedy. My whole directorial journey is built on the study of a small person who is faced with a choice: to hate or to forgive, to take revenge or to show generosity. Life is made up of steps that we walk up or down. It’s my job, as a scriptwriter and director, to show the moment of choice between black and white.
