Edna
Living on the edge of Transbrasiliana highway in the Brazilian Amazon, Edna is a witness of a land in ruins built upon massacres. Raised only by her mother, she experiences in her body and of her descendants, the marks of a "war that never ends" - a war for land. Through her reports and writings, the movie builds a hybrid narrative that moves between reality and imaginary. Everything's woven from Edna's memory and her diary entitled "Story of My Life". A life of guerillas, disappearances and deforestations, but also women's strength, rivers and woods that insist on surviving. A poet transformed in eyes that can see but cannot talk. She dreams of leaving to a place that we don't know where.
