'Anina' is a 2013 Uruguayan-Colombian animated film directed by Alfredo Soderguit. The film was selected as the Uruguayan entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 86th Academy Awards, but it was not nominated.
Plot
Anina Yatay Salas is a pensive redhead who really does not like her name, with each part of it being palindrome. Her peers always ridcule her about this, especially Aninas arch-enemy Yisel. When these two get into a playground fight one day they are sent to the school head who disciplines them with a nerve-racking punishment: they are both given a sealed black envelope which they are not allowed to open for an entire week. Haunted by nightmares, the days drag by endlessly for Anina. She and her inquisitive best friend try to devise all sorts of ways to discover what is inside the envelope. Gradually, Anina begins to realise that not only does Yisel share her fate: she also has much bigger problems to contend with than Anina. Tentatively, the two rivals begin to get to know each other. Narrated by the voice of the young protagonist, the film is able to follow Aninas thought processes and provide an insight into her emotional world. Aninas day-dreams are not always about her troubles and woes they also reflect her awakening feelings of love.
