Mayday, one of this year’s Sundance Festival lineup, tells the compelling story of a woman trying to piece together her fragmented memories.
“The situations that bring Ana, the disoriented heroine of writer-director Karen Cinorre’s Mayday, to the movie’s remote, windswept island are as disturbing as they are integral to the movie’s message of survival.
