- Synopsis
- Antunes portrays the women from the favelas from a place of power, owners of their sexuality, even if it has been taken so many times, allies to their sisters, builders of their daily existence. Violence is always there, pulsating beyond the walls, but the filmmaker manages to set a stage where the off-screen keeps us constantly in tension, where dialog is not possible, and even so it does take place. Life in the favelas appears both cruel and luminous. Far from miserabilism, the film finds a point where perversion and happiness coexist in contradiction, without condescension.
