Experiencing Interruptions?

ANA BY DAY

Ana is a young, well-educated Spanish woman from a traditional, middle-class family. She is about to finish her PhD in Law and get married but she doesn't feel fulfilled. One day, a double (doppelganger) takes her place in life, dealing with all her responsibilities.

Realizing for the first time that she is totally free, Ana decides to explore her new anonymity and freedom, testing her own limits and searching for the meaning of life, between a boarding-house and cabaret nights in Madrid.

However, at one point routine also arrives to her new life and a question haunts her: Is it possible to ever run away from oneself?

Director Statement

In Ana de día time is stopped in Madrid’s under-world in which Ana will get lost trying to find herself. She will try to run away from this sense of emptiness that some ‘formal women’ of my generation have. A desire of escaping that also exists as a repressed wish for all the characters of the film. Are we living the lives that we want? Can we escape from ourselves? This is the point of convergence of all my previous films. A -sometime implicit and sometimes literally- vital wish that is concentrated here in the personal research of Ana, the protagonist, and which sets the entire story off.
ANA BY DAY IS A PERSONAL LOOK OVER TODAY’S WOMEN REALITY BUT AT THE SAME TIME, SO CLOSE TO THE ANXIETIES OF A NEW GENERATION.
