A young woman openly navigates multiple relationships, unsettling the norms around her. Banned on release, Trautman’s debut treats sexuality with wit and candour as it confronts dictatorship-era mores. Light in tone yet radical in implication, it ranks as a pioneering feminist gesture in Brazilian cinema – intimate, modern and bold.
