About Ansa
Daniel Gorban's wife Elisabet has left home after an argument and has been missing for ten days. Daniel is worried about his wife, but the inspector reassures him that there is no cause for concern yet. Pastor Maxim arrives unexpectedly at Daniel's house and tells him that Daniel's wife is with him. However, Daniel does not recognize the woman with the pastor. The woman claims to be Elisabet and has identification to prove it. Furthermore, during the inspector's questioning, the woman knows even the smallest details of the Gorbanis' marriage. Who is telling the truth? And what really happened between the couple?
Directed by Markku Onttonen, Ansa leans on a strong ensemble — Hannu Lauri, Hannele Lauri, Martti Pennanen — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1981.
