Filhos do Mangue

Maria, a fisherman's daughter, returns to her village after a decade in the city. Her father is dying from an illness linked to the pollution of the mangrove swamps. Instead of leaving again, Maria stays and begins gathering evidence against the chemical plant poisoning the water. She is supported only by her childhood friend João, whose family works at that very plant. The conflict has split the community: some fear losing their only income, others fear for their children's future. Maria's investigation leads to an unexpected discovery: documents point to the involvement of her own uncle, the town's mayor. Now she faces a choice between family and justice, between the past and the future of the place she once called home.
