Ana es una mujer adulta de treinta y tres anos, que tomo una terrible decision que condeno su vida a un infierno. Despues de nueve anos de matrimonio con un hombre que la maltrata, ya no sabe quien es, ni que quiere. Es una mujer derrotada y angustiada. Prisionera de su propia desdicha, ni siquiera tiene fuerzas para sobrevivir un dia mas. Sin embargo e incomprensiblemente surge una oportunidad asombrosa para ella. Despues de una casi mortal paliza que la deja inconsciente y apenas recuerda, descubre con incredulidad, que ha retrocedido quince anos en el tiempo y vuelve a ser aquella chica de dieciocho anos con un mundo de posibilidades abierto ante ella; volver a comenzar la carrera de periodismo, compartir un piso de estudiantes y sobre todo no volver a cometer los mismos errores de nuevo. Desde ese momento su mision principal es evitar y no entablar ningun tipo de relacion con Abraham, el que fuera su futuro marido. Pero no sera nada facil. No, cuando no puede impedir encontrarse con el por los pasillos de la universidad, y aun quedan ecos de ese algo que la mantuvo durante tantos anos junto a el, un algo que probablemente ya no sea amor, pero si una total y absoluta dependencia. Cuenta con el apoyo de su hermano a quien revela todo. Siempre han sido muy cercanos y su relacion es muy divertida, aunque Ana siempre oculto a el y a sus padres el calvario que sufria. Por que? Esas son preguntas que constantemente se plantea mientras bucea hacia los lugares mas profundos y oscuros de su alma, buscando las respuestas a esas dudas.A.V.

Nothing escaped the eye of the satirical eye of Britain's phenomenally successful all-Asian sketch show Goodness Gracious Me. The complete BBC Radio series 1-3 preceded the award-winning BBC TV series that ran in the late 1990s, and features the same cast. Prepare for your heart to pound in the Indian recreation of Brief Encounter, sing along to the profound words of wisdom with Fifty Ways to Leave your Mother, and enjoy pop classics such as 'Hindi People' and 'Punjabi Girl'.Along with the discovery that The Royal Family are actually Indian, there are a ton of characters to enjoy- the Guru, Smeeta Smitten, the Coopers, Mrs I-Can-Make-it-at-Home and Mr Everything-Comes-from-India. If you don't like your comedy to be really, really bland (like a good English) then Goodness Gracious Me is the satirical series for you.

Enter Anil Tissera, a young woman and forensic anthropologist born in Sri Lanka but educated in the West, sent by an international human rights group to identify the victims of the murder campaigns sweeping the island.
