SYNOPSIS

Women of Brazil is a long feature film that is part fiction and part documentary. During the 113 minutes, five stories written by female writers, are filmed in different regions of Brazil.

From Maceió to Curitiba, stopping by remote places like Bom Jesus da Lapa at Bahia, without leaving behind big cities like Rio and São Paulo, this film presents a deep and sensitive reading of the female soul. Our female characters, moved by their continuous drive in search of their dream and their deepest desires, share their unique personal experiences as their lives takes course, providing an insight into their culture, seasoned with humour, sensuality, irony and sometimes, cruelty.
