Ana Endara is a filmmaker based in Panama City. She studied direction at the International Film and Television School in Cuba, and works as a videographer at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. She’s directed several documentaries, including Reinas (2014) and The Joy of Sound (2016). Beloved Tropic (2024), her latest film, is her fiction debut.
A tropical garden provides the setting for the meeting between two lonely souls who accompany one another for a time: that of an upper-class woman from whom dementia is taking all she ever was, and that of her caretaker, a lonely immigrant, alienated from the world by a terrible secret.
