Anna lives quietly with her husband and her 3-year-old son in the suburbs of a major city. She regularly travels to developing countries where she works as a consultant in irrigation projects. During a visit to Egypt, one of her colleagues commits suicide and it is Anna who discovers the body. Even though Anna didn't know her well, this sudden death makes a big impression on her. She realises for the first time that you can remain unknown even to those who are the closest to you. Back
