Abraço

In 2008, a significant legal battle unfolds in Sergipe as 30,000 teachers unite to protect their rights against the state government. The film follows their journey to the capital, Aracaju, as they strive to convince the judges to uphold their teaching careers amidst ongoing challenges.

Professor Ana Rosa, a central character, embodies the struggle of balancing her roles as a mother, a woman, and a union leader. Her personal challenges are amplified by societal expectations and familial pressures, particularly from her husband and mother-in-law, who embody traditional gender roles.

Abraço delves into the complexities of activism and the sacrifices made by those fighting for justice in education. It highlights not only the collective struggle of the teachers but also the individual battles faced by women in leadership positions.
