Ana
{4.5/5} “‘I’m a car salesman.’ ‘Without any cars. When are you going to show some hustle?'”
Ana, released in 2018
A hurricane hits Puerto Rico and Ana’s mother is arrested. She meets Rafa, a used car salesman. Rafa loses all his cars except the one he’s driving. Rafa tries to get money by betting on roosters, while Ana tries to get money by pretending to be injured and begging. He fails and she succeeds. Ana thinks they can help each other but Rafa just wants to take her to her father’s house.
It’s about 2 people who hang out but have a mostly adversarial relationship.
It’s about people who are doing what they need to do to survive.
It’s mostly a serious situation, but there are some funny moments.
In one scene Ana is hustling in the middle of a church service.
Stars Andy Garcia, Dafne Keen, and Jeanne Tripplehorn. Directed by Charles McDougall (Heart). The music is by Geronimo Mercado.
