Coffee Done Right

The Steep & Brew Audience Award for Best Narrative at the 2011 Wisconsin Film Festival is Anita, an Argentine Film directed by Marcos Carnevale.

Anita is the touching story of a mentally challenged women lost in Buenos Aires. Anita's cozy domesticity ends suddenly when a bomb explodes on their Buenos Aires street, demolishing her mother's store and separating Anita from her family. She is an adult with Down Syndrome, friendly and trusting, but unprepared to navigate the chaos that follows. Her brother Ariel is looking for her through the official channels set up by the Jewish community, but Anita is drifting free, without ID or an idea of how to get help. She wanders on a fairytale odyssey through the city, impervious to her sudden rootlessness, except for wanting to get home to her mother and return to her known routine. Click here  to see a trailer.
