Synopsis

Synopsis

Ana is 28. She feels useful and satisfied in her routine work helping others. Nevertheless, outside of her working day, Ana has serious problems relating to people. She is socially awkward and even aggressive towards those people closest to her and whom she loves.
Ana cannot control this behaviour or her emotions, so she suffers constantly and feels tormented and guilty. Really she would just like to feel at ease with herself and with others, to be happy. But her self-destructive, self-harming behaviour only isolates her more and more.
Ana is unaware that she suffers from what psychiatrists call Borderline Personality Disorder.

Director's Statement

After more than a decade working as a feature film editor, the time has finally come to get behind the camera to direct my first film. WOUNDED is the result of a collaboration with Enric Rufas, well known dramatist and Jaime Rosales’ regular scriptwriter.
The film tells of a year in the life of Ana, played by Marian Álvarez. Ana suffers from a personality disorder that leads her to injure herself and to behave unpredictably with those around her: her mother, her boyfriend and her fellow workers. The story focuses on these conflicts and how they clash with the character’s strong emotional involvement in her daily work.
WOUNDED deals with a subject of social interest which is practically invisible to the general public. It talks about an illness that affects a large number of individuals (2% of the young population) and their families who, because of the great lack of information about it, are unable to identify the problem and its roots. In that sense, I think that this is a rigorous and honest film.
