“Ana" can be called a drama, in which fiction and reality are mixed. The film starts from the concept expressed by Virginia Woolf in her book "A Whole Roof" that fiction may contain more truth than facts.

The film aims to portray Latin American women artists in the 1970s and 1980s and, by means of Stela, to establish a connection with today's world. "Ana" could be considered a hybrid, because while presenting itself in the aesthetic proposal as a documentary, and includes artists of the 70s and 80s well known and important real figures in their countries, also proposes a fictional narrative. This narrative is expressed by Stela, who is played by an actress. This proposal, despite working with some references (such as Incident at Loch Ness (2004), Werner Herzog, Peter Jackson's Forgotten Silver (1995), and others ), bet on its own language and on the search for Latin American references. The film works with drama, and brings issues such as the role of women, the political reality of the continent, the situation of the plastic arts, which distinguishes them from those reference films, which usually bet on comedy. It can still be thought of as a road-movie , as Stela goes looking for her obsessions in various countries.

The character Ana is a black woman that allows the film to examine the “white” feminism and the “black” one, a very important discussion in Brasil today.
