MANAS

2024, Brazil/Portugal

Marianna Brennand

13-year-old Tielle lives on the island of Marajó in the north of the Brazilian Amazon region with her parents and siblings. Her life seems carefree: school, church, friends, family. That changes drastically when her father begins to exploit his daughter’s unawareness of what sexual assault means. Without ever explicitly depicting the acts, director Marianna Brennand tells a story of abuse within the family that took years of research. Tielle experiences patriarchy in all its harshness – but she will fight back.

Eine junge Frau mit dunklem Haar sitzt auf einem kleinen Holzboot und schaut über ihre Schulter. Sie befindet sich auf einem Fluss mit einem großen Frachtschiff in der Ferne und einem bewölkten Himmel über ihr.
