Anna LOL

Writer Marta Sofija bares her soul and body with awkward sincerity through two years of diaries. The shocking nocturnal wanderings blend harsh reality with authentic fiction, using footage shot on various handheld devices. 　　Heartbroken by her parents’ separation, 18-year-old shoplifter and skater Anna – portrayed in a vivid breakout performance by Enija Selecka – searches for a handsome soulmate while exploring the double standards of tolerance in Latvian society. She visits healers, fortune tellers, shamans, and dealers in her quest to separate love from fear. As Anna immerses herself in an Instagram-inspired nightlife of alcohol, drugs, and sex, her life rapidly spirals out of control. Illusions and hallucinations intertwine disturbingly with violent dreams and memories, all set to an intense soundtrack of rap and techno.
