In 2016, Anna starred as Alma in El Olivo, a role for which she won the Goya Award for Best New Actress, depicting a grandaughter desperate to retrieve her beloved grandfather's olive tree in the hope that it will awaken him from his vegetative state. The movie was also named as one of three films that could be chosen as the Spanish submission for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 89th Academy Awards, but it was not selected.
