Told in non-chronological fashion, Ana, Mon Amour traces the rise and fall of the tumultuous and passionate romance of Toma and Ana. We first meet the couple as university students in love's thrall. At the first sign of Ana's debilitating anxiety attacks, Toma's protective instincts kick in and he safeguards her (and their relationship) from external threats. Later, however, the power dynamic shifts. Ana begins a transformative journey of self-reliance, leaving Toma behind, alone and unable to piece together the fragments of their decade-long relationship.
