L'altra
Anna, a graphic designer by chance, independent by necessity, introspective, constantly calculating, keeping the balance, putting the meter back to zero in order to keep going on. And Manel, Nel, Nelet, her companion, so close and so distant, so much need and so much buried rage. In a setting where nothing is stable, it's easy for things to change suddenly, and present day Barcelona is no exception; the crippling crisis, an unexpected tenant, a demanding family, a life-changing experience. How can Anna juggle it all, recalculate her direction, continue her secure life? If she can indeed. Because these are not the only unexpected changes to come. With the backdrop of the omnipresent present, and with a fresh, personal style, fine observation and a good ear for dialogue which is captivating.
