Three Times Ana (Tres Veces Ana)
David Kohon, one of the most important directors of the sixties generation, adapted three of his own short stories into an imaginative urban romance. Ana (played in all three sketches by Maria Vaner) is an object in the gaze of three men; but Kohon, as John King writes in The Garden of Forking Paths, "by preference dealt with the feminine condition,...with a leaning towards fantasy and frustration." The first sketch, Earth, tells of a shop assistant whose affair with a student ends in pregnancy and abortion; the second, Air, of a boy introduced to the world of drag in a seaside weekend of debauchery; and the third, Cloud, of a graphic artist who dreams of a woman glimpsed through the window. "A sensitive, poetic examination of the chimera of love and the reality of non-communication set evocatively in Buenos Aires."
