After Zambrano’s film, the name Ana Fernández became known overnight, as she had known how to embody loneliness, pain and also the hope of her character like no other. Even Pedro Almodóvar himself was overwhelmed by this amazing film about motherhood, so he declared that it had been the best film he had seen in 1999. “What happened with Solas has been like a miracle,” declared the actress.

The Sevillian actress rocked the role of Pilara, so that she was nominated for a Goya award. The following year she worked in the Italian filmMalefemmene , also with a script by José Luis Garci and the leading role by Giovanna Mezzogiorno . Her idyll with the Madrid director came to fruition definitively in 2002, when he called her again to, this time, star in the romanticStory of a kiss Ana came out gracefully –with a new Goya nomination–, although it is true that her character was somewhat theatrical and her love with Alfredo Landa did not fit very well . That same year she dared with the criminal thrillerReflections (2002) , but above all he left his mark on two of the most important films of his filmography: the dramasTalk to her , by Pedro Almodóvar , andIn the city without limits , by Antonio Hernández . In 2004 she collaborated with Garci again by joining the highly varied cast ofcarousel c. 1950 and the following year he filmed with Laura Maña the rare comedyDying in San Hilario , imbued with magical realism.
