Edna


Documentary | Brazil | 2021 | 64 min | Portuguese

Synopsis

Raised only by her mother, the marks of a war that, according to her, never ended, live on her body and her descendants: a war for land. Through reports and writings, the film builds a hybrid narrative that moves between reality and the imaginary. Everything is woven from the memory of Edna and her diary entitled: Historia de mi vida (Story of my Life). A life of battles, disappearances and deforestation, but also of strength in the women, rivers and forests that insist on surviving. A poet transformed into eyes that, despite seeing, cannot speak. She dreams of going from there to a place she does not know where.
