English Subs: Manas

Deep in the Brazilian Amazon, Tielle dreams of a life far away from home, inspired by her sister, who left the jungle behind years ago. As she grows older, the illusions she clings to begin to crumble and her safe home life transforms into something much darker. During a secret excursion aboard a passing freighter, Tielle gets a glimpse of the coveted outside world, but it too brings dangers. Determined to protect herself, her younger sister and all the other women in the community, she does everything she can to break the traditions that humiliate and oppress them.

A sensitive and powerful resistance by thirteen-year-old Tielle against the system that oppresses her and all women. Co-produced by Walter Salles and the Dardenne Brothers, it won the Directing Award at the Venice Film Festival and the Grand Jury Fiction Prize at Movies That Matter.
