Special programme “Breaking Old Ways”

Anna and the Moods

26 min. | Comedy, Animation | N/A

One day, "the wonderful child" Ana wakes up with a terrible disease, from which she not only looks like Marilyn Manson, but is also forced to suffer huge mood swings. Parents in a desperate situation take her to Dr. Artman’s Clinic for Disobedient Children, where she is diagnosed with adolescence. But Dr. Artman's treatment is not quite what Anna's parents expected. The script for Anna and Mood was written by Oscar winner Sjón Sigurdsson. The music was composed by Julian Nott and performed by the Brodsky Quartet. The story is told by Terry Jones (from the British comedy group Monty Python), Damon Albarn (from Blur and Gorillaz) voices Anna's father, and Anna is voiced by Björk herself.
