Manas

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.
Gevoelig en krachtig verzet van de dertienjarige Tielle tegen het systeem dat haar en alle vrouwen onderdrukt. Een coproductie van Walter Salles en de Broers Dardenne en winnaar van de regieprijs op het filmfestival van Venetië.    Diep in de Amazone van Brazilië droomt Tielle van een leven ver weg van huis, geïnspireerd door haar zus, die jaren geleden de jungle achterliet. Naarmate ze ouder wordt, beginnen de illusies waaraan ze zich vastklampt af te brokkelen en verandert haar veilige thuissituatie in iets veel duisterder. Tijdens een stiekeme uitstap aan boord van een voorbijvarend vrachtschip, krijgt Tielle een glimp van de felbegeerde buitenwereld, maar ook die brengt gevaren met zich mee. Vastberaden om zichzelf, haar jongere zus en alle andere vrouwen uit de gemeenschap te beschermen, zet ze alles op alles om de tradities te breken die hen vernederen en onderdrukken.
