anone (2018)

The synopsis , although not exactly inaccurate, doesn't do justice to Anone and probably isn't the most enticing thing ever. However, any possible advantage from correcting it is (in my opinion) inferior to the pleasure of figuring things out on your own, guessing how will the plot flow, how are all those people connected and what makes their wheels spinning. Long story short: Anone is so much more than two women of different age finding each other and healing their wounds. It weaves an intricate network of people crossing paths and trying to achieve their goals (or just living their ordinary lives). It is a drama about people and living in a society, which may sound banal on paper, but never is. It's about a warmth and comfort of a makeshift family (nothing short of a miracle), brutally contrasted with inhuman coldness, lack of regard for others, narrowness of horizons forced on the weakest and most impressionable ones and scarring them for life. You will see 'villains' more bloodcurdling than the most grotesque psychokillers populating your usual crime shows, but they will be completely commonday and manipulating people with little tidbits they have on their loved ones. Not that it strictly divides characters on good and bad, at least not those that stay longer.
It's about dreams, too (another banality on paper). And counterfeiting money. The better part of the plot could belong to an action movie, but the drama approaches it in a casual, slice-of-lifey manner. One arc turns very brothers Coen.
It's fun! In a quirky, gloomy way, with plenty of situational and visual humour stuffed in between tender moments. Beautifully written and directed, playing with conventions, often showing-not-telling and fully using the potential of each episode being a complete entity that can tell a story from a certain point. Highly recommended.

It's a good drama! Full of hope and good deeds.

Not the one with a prince charming and a princess but it's about life ,courageous and warmness.
People believing in good deeds whatever hard that might be .

What I found interesting ? 365° view of the life of most of the characters . push you to not judge anyone .
Good thing to practice in the real life

Good acting of all the actors: leads and supporting ones.

Another reason I like the movie : There is some wisdom in it . I particularly liked the episode 5 at the 31 mn . You see both Harika and Anone in front of the hospital .
This is the heart of the drama, in my opinion, showing the value of the two persons .

At that moment, I really appreciated the advise that Anone gave to Harika : " ... just stay . You do not have to do anything". Actually in many cultures around the world it's well known that when you are sick having someone who loves you sit by your bedside can help you to heal or even ( believe it or not !) delay death

Happy end ? I will answer " hope"end i.e that ends with hope ...

The title "Anone " is it about the lead actress who always begins her sentence by ''anone " ( do you know?) while chatting with the one she loves or is it about the name of the second lead actress Anone .
Please take your time and watch the drama... I let you answer this question :)
