Storyline

Anka is a timeless children’s fairy tale, set in the bucolic countryside of Central Europe at the turn of the 20th century. It is a story about the quest for love and acceptance, revealed through the adventures of Anka, an orphan girl who bravely sets off in pursuit of a home, facing life’s hardships, and finding her place through the help of a magical world and its mysterious forest creatures. Running away from her evil custodians, Anka finds what she is looking for in the most improbable of places – a brick making factory, and in the most improbable of men – the ‘Brazilian’, a rebellious and free-spirited factory worker whose damaged adulthood, torn by temptation and a traumatic past, stands in harsh contrast to Anka’s pure and hopeful childhood. Their fates will intertwine, as they embark on an emotional, adventure-packed journey that will bring them to the realization that, as a family, they can offer each other the companionship and care that fate has deprived them of.
