The following description comes from the event organizer.
Summer 1996, northeast coast of Brazil. Tamara is enjoying her last weeks at the fishing village she lives in before departing to Brasília for her studies. One day, she hears about a teenager nicknamed Heartless after a scar she has on her chest. Over the course of the summer, Tamara feels a growing attraction for this mysterious girl. Mãtãnãg, the Enchanted One (Mãtãnãg, a Encantada) (Shawara Maxakali \& Charles Bicalho, Brazil, 2019, 14 min, in Maxakali with English subtitles) Maxakali mythology tells us that the Indigenous woman Mãtãnãg followed the spirit of her husband, who died from a snake bite, to the village of the dead. Despite overcoming the obstacles between the worlds of the living and the dead together, Mãtãnãgs soul must return to the earthly world. But this wont be the last time the living and the dead meet again.
