New Jersey Film Festival Spring 2026 OFFICIAL SELECTION

ANDA is a visually haunting and lyrical feature film that blends Nordic folklore with surrealist storytelling and modern themes. The film follows an elderly woman whose mother returns—decades younger than expected. Her search for answers pulls her into a dreamlike realm where myth and reality entwine. As she unearths long-buried secrets, she must carefully navigate the brittle boundary between inheritance and freedom, confronting the cost of power and the illusions of love. Through the intimate lens of a mother-daughter relationship, ANDA explores the longing for youth, desire, and the enduring myths we live by.
