A Film by Marcos Carnevale (Elsa & Fred)
Starring Academy Award Nominee Norma Aleandro
and introducing Alejandra Manzo

Winner of 10 US Film Festival Awards!

"Anita" is the story of a young woman with Down syndrome (Alejandra Manzo) who lives a happy, routine life in Buenos Aires, being meticulously cared for by her mother Dora (Norma Aleandro). One tragic morning in 1994, everything changes when Anita is left alone, confused and helpless after the nearby Argentine Israelite Mutual Association is bombed (the deadliest bombing in Argentina's history). As Anita wanders through the city, she learns not only to care for herself, but touches the lives of those around her, from an alcoholic to a family of Asian immigrants.

"Anita" is the latest from filmmaker Marcos Carnevale, director of the acclaimed film "Elsa and Fred". The film stars Academy Award nominated actress Norma Aleandro. Anita is portrayed by Alejandra Manzo, an actress with Down syndrome. Manzo has been receiving huge acclaim for her performance - the Pittsburgh City Paper says "Manzo shines in the role, drawing viewers in with her sincerity, tenacity and joy."

"Anita" has won 10 Awards from film festivals across the United States. The film has also been officially endorsed by the National Down Syndrome Congress.
