Unbowed (2024)

Women writers intertwine their work in the form of an anthology in this feature film. The scripts are adapted from tales written by Brazilian women at the end of the 20th Century to create four shorts filmed by directors of groups under-represented in the cinematographic industry of Brazil of 2024. Themes such as death, healing, the body, marriage and desire are tantamount in stories in which women revisit their past in search of liberty.
