I have a story but I am not my story

Anna (a doctor), after a confrontational but healing dialogue with her inner child, realizes that until she was 50 she was not the protagonist in her story. She decides to free herself from the limiting beliefs and desires of others and follow her heart's desires. Will she be able to defeat and get rid of the insidious games her mind and thoughts play to keep her trapped? What is the cause that triggered her desire to want to be the one who makes the decisions about her life?

Director Statement

In all my scripts I always try to give food for thought and a message. In this the prompt is: Don't ignore the inner child! this particular inner voice, that you pretend not to hear, resulting in the accumulation of all your repressed desires. Chasing acceptance out of fear of rejection is traumatic.
Moreover, the food for thought in this case is to wonder if you just have a story or if you are your story. What matters most is to get involved in the procedure of changing the way we see things and to evolve, by allowing ourselves to do the things we have always dreamed of, free from the limiting beliefs and desires of others.
You don't have to try to earn love or prove yourself. Banish fear and be the hero in your story. It doesn't matter how dreamy your material world is if you are not happy inside.
