Drama

Thirteen-year-old Marcielle lives on Marajó Island in the heart of the Amazon rainforest. To break a terrible cycle that imprisons the women around her in an isolated region, she must do the impossible to liberate herself and her younger sister from a dark abyss of silence held by her own family.

VIBE

This is a deeply harrowing and somber slow-burn drama, unflinchingly exploring intergenerational trauma and the oppressive weight of silence. It's a gut-wrenching journey into a child's fight for liberation, rendered with gritty realism and intimate emotional intensity. Expect a resilient, yet profoundly difficult, viewing experience.
