LANA is a story of one’s hope and the struggle to find their true self. Struggling with addiction as well as juggling the past and present.
We follow LANA, a drugged addicted prostitute as she begins her cycle of self-depreciation. Her only aspiration is to be anywhere but her current state. She’s consistently chasing a high and her equally destructive boyfriend aggressively adds fuel to the fire.
In a moment of clarity LANA realizes that her drug addiction has lead her towards this downward spiral of self-loathing and destruction. She looks at her past and envisions her road to recovery. Her thirst for a sober life becomes clear in her eyes, with the hope that it may just happen.
Through an intervention, although not the first attempt her family guides her resurgence. We begin to see LANA in a brighter light for the first time, however her drug life is never far behind her. Taunted by her dark lifestyle and cravings, she becomes unsure if she can ever overcome her addiction. Being pulled on both the positive and negative aspect of life LANA’s new addiction has her frozen in this moment full of expectations of a new beginning.
