A Menina da Estrada

Directed by Alvarenga, A Menina da Estrada dives into the complexities of human emotions and relationships. With Malu Bierrenbach in the lead role, the film draws on historical narratives that have shaped Brazilian culture.

The story is rooted in the experiences of the Kadiwéu and Kinikinanau peoples, reflecting their rich heritage and history. Alvarenga's connection with these communities during his time in the village of São João from 2002 to 2004 informs the film's narrative, adding depth and authenticity to the portrayal of these themes.
