A sensitive yet powerful act of resistance by thirteen-year-old Tielle against the system that oppresses her and all women. A co-production by Walter Salles and the Dardenne Brothers, and winner of the Best Director Award at the Venice Film Festival as well as the Grand Jury Fiction Prize at Movies That Matter.

Deep in the Brazilian Amazon, Tielle dreams of a life far from home, inspired by her sister who left the jungle years ago. As she grows older, the illusions she clings to begin to crumble, and her once-safe home turns into something much darker. During a secret excursion aboard a passing cargo ship, Tielle catches a glimpse of the longed-for outside world—but that world holds its own dangers. Determined to protect herself, her younger sister, and all the other women in her community, she risks everything to break the traditions that humiliate and oppress them.
