Ana Begins
Synopsis
At first Frazer is there as support, a solid presence, a man’s man: someone to lean on. Yet Frazer is also lost. Ana is young and beautiful; he is older, trapped in a marriage that died years ago.
The relationship develops. There is tension; it’s complicated. Guilt is felt on both sides and as time passes Frazer begins to fall in love with her.
Confused emotions and suppressed desire drive the two towards inevitable conflict until finally Ana must confront her true feelings for Frazer and, with or without him, move on. And this can be her only certainty: that by the end, things will be beginning again.
Ana Begins is a subtle and intricate love story that explores and embraces the confusions of suppressed desire.
