Anna Kannava

An Australian woman is haunted by her mother's past love-life in Paris, and decides to visit the magical city.

A documentary film with some acted sequences sprinkled throughout, The Butler is about the special bond between the director and her brother Nino, in Melbourne, Australia. Kannava, re-establishing her life after developing a chronic health condition (scleroderma) at the age of 30, is assisted by her brother to live her life, and she in turns provide company and support to him, as he attempts to alleviate his loneliness.

Kannava, 10 years after migrating to Australia as a 15 year old in 1974, returns to her home city of Limassol in Cyprus, to reconnect with her beloved grandmother.

A collection of images of Anna Kannava as a young woman, posing, playing, and reflecting on her changing life, all set to an eclectic soundtrack.
