How to Watch
In the Basque Country, Spain, Lide works a job as a security guard at a contentious railway construction site opposed by much of the community. When her daughter, Ane, vanishes, Lide needs to find out if it’s a kidnapping, or worse--is Ane involved in something over her head? Winner of three Goya Awards: Best Lead Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best New Actress.
Watching over the controversial construction site, tense, and literally putting out fires (from firebombs thrown onto the site), Lide returns home exhausted every night. One evening, she discovers her teenage daughter, Ane, is not there, nor has she been in her bed at all. Enlisting the help of her ex-husband to find the girl, Lide discovers that the truth reveals unpleasant compromises. “Ane is Missing is a film of remarkable narrative maturity, a genre-weaving tale probing social, psychological and deeply personal realities.” --Alfonso Rivera, Cineuropa
