Brought straight
from Spain, we just saw “Para Elisa” (For Elisa) an interesting
suspense film written and directed by Juanra Fernandez, which has
been on festivals for quite some time, and it will be released on DVD

In “Para Elisa”
we meet Ana, a student that while looking for ways to get the money
needed for her post-graduation trip, decides to answer to an add from
a house looking for a baby sitter to take care of a child, as well as
to entertain her and play with her. On her job interview, Ana meets
Mrs Diamantina, and eccentric retired piano artist that now collects
dolls, and everything seems to go well, until Ana discovers that the
child that she was supposed to look after, is in fact a full grown
woman like herself with a severe mental illness, Ana declines the job
offer, but before she can leave the house, she starts to loose
consciousness and it's clear to us that Diamantina has decided that
she is the perfect companion for her daughter, and that she will stay
whether Ana agrees or not.
