Three different love-related stories make up the 113-minute running time in this effective film by Argentine writer and director David José Kohon -all stories star María Vaner as different "Annas". In the first sketch, "The Earth," Anna is a young and idealistic woman on the verge of adulthood when her first relationship with a clerk shatters her dreams of the romantic life. In the next sketch, "The Air," Anna is a rebellious, easy-living type among some beach bums whose sexual leanings tend to tip the scale at active promiscuity. In the last story, "The Cloud," Anna only exists in the fertile imagination of an introverted lay-out man on a newspaper, dreaming of his ideal woman. The mood and pace of each of these three vignettes varies according to the ambiance involved. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
