ANNA

ANNA
By Alvaro Mercado

GENRE: Horror
LOGLINE:

A dysfunctional family moves into an old house, unsuspecting that a dark secret from their past is hidden within. Soon, they begin to experience terrifying paranormal phenomena. They discover that a vengeful demon is haunting them and demands a sacrifice to settle a karmic debt. ALMA would challenge the limits of her bravery through the power of maternal conviction.

SYNOPSIS:

In 1970, in La Paz, Anna—a housekeeper suffering from severe mental disorders—

cares for the infant of Norah Zapata, a renowned Bolivian singer‑songwriter, and

her husband, a high‑ranking military officer. Taking the phrase “I’m going to eat

you” literally, Anna murders the child and serves his flesh to his own parents. Upon

discovering the horror, the husband kills Anna and then takes his own life; Norah,

unable to bear the truth, descends into madness, leaving behind the Miraflores

house forever stained by tragedy.

Decades later, a dysfunctional family moves into that same mansion, drawn by its

architectural beauty and unaware of its dark past. They soon begin to experience

paranormal phenomena: whispers of a child’s cries, visions of Anna’s macabre figure,

and fleeting echoes of that bloody feast. Trapped by the vengeful force of the

spirit and the legacy of Norah Zapata, they must unravel the house’s secret to save

themselves—discovering that this is no ordinary horror, but an ancestral ordeal that

defies sanity and demands justice.
