Ana is 28. She feels useful and satisfied in her routine work helping others. Nevertheless, outside of her working day, Ana has serious problems relating to people. She is socially awkward and even aggressive towards those people closest to her and whom she loves.
Ana can’t control this behaviour or her emotions, so she suffers constantly and feels tormented and guilty. Really she would just like to feel at ease with herself and with others, to be happy. But her self-destructive, self-harming behaviour only isolates her more and more.
Ana is unaware that she suffers from what psychiatrists call Borderline Personality Disorder.

Statement of the Director/s:
After more than a decade working as a feature film editor, the time has finally come to get behind the camera to direct my first film. “”Wounded” is the result of a collaboration with Enric Rufas, well known dramatist and Jaime Rosales’ regular scriptwriter.
The film tells of a year in the life of Ana, played by Marian Álvarez. Ana suffers from a personality disorder that leads her to injure herself and to behave unpredictably with those around her: her mother, her boyfriend and her fellow workers. The story focuses on these conflicts and how they clash with the character’s strong emotional involvement in her daily work.
“Wounded” deals with a subject of social interest which is practically invisible to the general public. It talks about an illness that affects a large number of individuals (2% of the young population) and their families who, because of the great lack of information about it, are unable to identify the problem and its roots. In that sense, I think that this is a rigorous and honest film.

Biography of the Director/s
In 2001 he started working as a feature film editor. Since then he has edited almost twenty films, including “No tengas miedo”, by Montxo Armendáriz, “Alacrán enamorado”, by Santiago Zannou, “Bon Appétit”, by David Pinillos and “Blancanieves”, by Pablo Berger, for which he won the Circle of Filmwriters’ Medal for Best Editing and was also nominated for the Goya and Gaudí awards.
Since 2007 he has also been developing his own projects as director, whether short films, video clips or pieces for museums. His short films have had a notable career in festivals around the world, winning over fifty awards (among others, he has twice won the Biznaga for Best Short Film at Malaga Festival of Spanish Film). Two years ago, he was named in “Variety” as one of the five most promising new directors in Spain, and his first feature film, “Wounded” has been chosen to compete in the Official Section of the San Sebastian International Film Festival 2013.
He has combined this work with that of teaching as Head of Editing at ECAM and collaborating with other centres such as the EICTV in San Antonio de los Baños (Cuba) or the Department of Film at Valladolid University.
