Description

Ana is 39. She is a nurse and the mother of two children, Maria and Mihai. She wants what every woman wants: love, security and emotional belonging. Instead she finds a gynaecologist used to friends-with-benefits relationships and to women who ask nothing of him. Ana asks for exactly what bothers him most: commitment, fidelity and a stable place in his life.

The moment she starts wanting more than he is willing to give, the doctor orchestrates a trap that destroys her life. From that night on, the nightmare begins. Humiliated, manipulated and pushed into a state of constant despair, Ana tries to prove that she deserves to be loved. She takes out huge loans and pays for holidays, gifts and expenses, sacrificing everything she has to keep by her side the man who has become the centre of her universe.

With every month that passes, Ana sinks deeper into a devastating emotional dependency. Her friends watch her change. Her family watches her fade. No one manages to stop the tragedy. In the end, with no strength left to fight and no hope that her life will ever know peace again, Ana chooses to end her life.

She leaves behind two children who lose their mother, a therapist who receives her farewell letters and the full testimony of the last months of Ana’s life — and a truth that shakes everything that once seemed certain. A story inspired by true events about manipulation, emotional dependency, obsession, control and one woman’s path towards one of the most heartbreaking tragedies imaginable.
