Elgoibar Film Club: "MANAS"

What's it about

Marajó Island, Amazon rainforest. Marcielle (Tielle) lives by the river with her father, her mother and her three brothers. Driven by her mother's words, she idolizes her older sister, who supposedly escaped her reality 'finding a good man' on the barges that traverse the region. As Tielle matures, her idealized visions shatter, leaving her trapped between two abusive environments. Increasingly worried about her younger sister and the bleak future she foresees, she decides to confront the oppressive system that controls her family and the women of her community.
