Sometimes we grieve over the loss of our loved ones only when it is too late.
Young Hong Kong couple Anna and Thomas are having a fight during one
afternoon in the nature of Hong Kong. Hurt by her boyfriend's
wrongdoing, the proud Anna has trouble forgiving the inexpressive
Thomas despite his awkward efforts to make it up to her. Thomas goes
for a winter swim in the Hong Kong ocean to clear his mind, while Anna
falls asleep on the beach. Time passes as the beach crowd gradually
leaves the beach one after another. Anna wakes up around sunset to the
sound of a boy kicking beach ball, and finds Thomas disappeared. Has
he left her? The beach is now empty. She panics.

In ANAHÍ there is a separation: a daughter grows with the absence of
her mother and mother live without seeing her daughter grow. Each one
has a picture of the other built in his memory. It is a metaphor of
separation and illusion and imagined image of the other when you are
away. An image that exists in the mind, in an imaginary world, but
that is not real. An image that can not be touched, that in our
attempt to catch it disappears
