Incarcerated women join a band of volunteers who battle forest fires and assist during natural disasters.
Dayse, a Brazilian playwright known as Cyclone, wants to study in Paris. Having a career in theater is unthinkable for a woman in São Paulo in 1918. But her director doesn’t want her to go, as he would lose his mistress and ghostwriter. When she becomes pregnant by him, her dream starts to fade. An artist’s struggle for self-determination in a patriarchal society, based on the true story of Daisy Pontes and modernist Oswald de Andrade.

Belén is a movie based on the true story that sparked an international movement, Belén chronicles the harrowing case of Julieta, a young woman falsely accused of infanticide, and Soledad Deza, the fearless lawyer who takes on the highly controversial, explosive case. Belén takes us to Tucumán, a conservative region of Argentina, where Julieta’s trial becomes a flashpoint for the ongoing fight for women’s reproductive rights. As Soledad faces off against a corrupt, classist, and patriarchal legal system, Julieta’s story ignites a groundswell of outrage and solidarity, galvanizing an unstoppable movement for justice and bodily autonomy. Belén is equal parts gripping courtroom drama, searing critique of systemic injustice, and celebration of resilience and sisterhood.

The film puts the body and the idea of the body in evidence, through metalanguage, articulation and confrontation of documentary, fictional and performative languages. The film follows the trajectory of the main character who uses her own body to formulate universes and investigate the meanings that are drawn in it. In a kind of subjective diary written on her skin, she records sensations and reflections, building relationships with thinkers, performances and archival materials, which lead her to other bodies and other stories.
