ANA MOREIRA (Born 1980)
The roles that the delicate Ana Moreira played in her first movies were frail characters, almost
always defenceless victims, like those young girls one feels like wrapping up in a blanket and
taking home to give them a glass of warm milk and keep them away from harm. And I gave her
masks, disguises, wigs, extravagant dresses, sudden disappearances, nicknames, wiles and
strategies that might free woman from the social rules and conventions demanded by the novel
and the film! And she was magnificent, through a great deal of work and talent. Thank you,
wonderful Ana. All the other excellent actors are from my “family”, with some recent and welcome
new arrivals. I thank you all for this difficult adventure.
