Story
Ánimas follows the story of two best friends, Alex and Abraham. Their lives are forever changed when Abraham's father dies in a mysterious accident. After his father's death, Abraham develops dissociative disorder as a coping mechanism, creating an alternate identity. As an adult in psychotherapy, Abraham begins to suspect that Alex played a role in his father's death. This suspicion leads him to believe that Alex is a manifestation of his alter ego, a terrifying figure he must confront and overcome.
Summary

The film explores themes of mental health, trauma, and the blurred line between reality and nightmare through its protagonist Abraham, who grapples with dissociative identity disorder following his father's death. Despite the films' unique approach to horror, the plot details provided are limited and do not offer much context or background on the characters or their motivations.
