Dir. Moara Passoni / 2024 / 15 mins / Brazil / Portuguese / Victorian Premiere

Awaiting news of her mother at her aunt’s ranch in the Brazilian wetlands, 12-year-old Mia finds unexpected love in a jungle menaced by death and desire.

Drawing upon her own childhood experiences, Brazilian filmmaker Moara Passoni summons a singular coming-of-age story from the mythical landscape of the Pantanal, where a family ranch is threatened by a fabled jaguar and forest fires, and where a young girl might find herself in a realm of childhood magic, spooky legends and the wilds of nature.
