Levante

Sofia, a bright and ambitious 17-year-old volleyball player, lives in a poor suburb in Brazil. On the eve of an important tournament that could determine her future, she finds out about her unwanted pregnancy. But ending it - in a country that criminalises abortion - is almost impossible. Together with her friend and her team colleagues, Sofia forges a plan and comes under fire from religious fundamentalists. This powerful and emancipatory debut film tells the inspiring story of a young woman's everyday life as she fights against conservatism in the Bolsonaro era.
