Ana 3/11

Synopsis:
three women, all named Ana, await the fate of one man, Angel Vera Garcia, trapped in the Madrid train bombings on March 11, 2004. In three separate haunting vignettes, we meet Ana 1, Angel's lover; Ana 2, his wife; and Ana 3, his mother; as each struggles with her faith and hope that the man she loves is still alive. Whether waiting at home for a fateful phone call (Ana 1), enduring a hospital waiting room with another grieving wife (Ana 2), or battling dementia in a nursing home (Ana 3), Ana 3/11 explores the reverberations of terrorism and the enduring power of love."
