Synopsis

Álex is a self confident girl and capable of anything she propose. His friend, Abraham, is just the opposite: quiet, shy and very insecure, largely because of the hard situation in his home between his fathers. However, Abraham loses his father in strange circumstances, without knowing at any moment what was the real cause. After the death of his friends' father, called Daniel, Álex will fall into a conflict and begin to wonder about her existence itself. 'Ánimas' is the adaptation from the same name novel written by José Ortuño, which is actually the director of the film along with Laura Alvea. In addition, the movie is starred by Clare Durant ('Centro médico') in her cinematographic debut, Iván Pellicer ('Fugitiva'), Ángela Molina ('Snow White'), Luis Bermejo ('Magical Girl') and Chacha Huang ('The Man with Thousand Faces').
