On Tour: Manas
With Movies that Matter On Tour, we bring our favourite films to seventeen film theatres across the Netherlands. In March, it is the Brazilian drama Manas by Marianna Brennand – a brand new film from our 2025 festival selection!
About the film
With vulnerability and incredible courage, a Brazilian girl confronts the system that oppresses her and all women.
In the depths of the Amazon rainforest, 13-year-old Tielle grows up with dreams inspired by her older sister’s escape. As she matures, the illusions she clings to begin to crumble, revealing a world of deep-rooted exploitation and abuse. Determined to protect her younger sister and reshape their future, she dares to challenge the forces that bind the women in her community, in a poignant exploration of resilience and resistance.
