Manas (2024)
Directed by Marianna Brennand
Set in the Amazon region of Brazil, Manas is a powerful and deeply moving coming-of-age story that follows Marcielle, a young girl navigating adolescence, family expectations, and the challenges of growing up in a community shaped by inequality and silence. Through Marcielle’s journey, director Marianna Brennand explores resilience, sisterhood, and the strength it takes to imagine a different future. A beautifully crafted and socially urgent film, Manas brings visibility to voices often overlooked while offering a sensitive portrait of life, identity, and hope in contemporary Brazil.
