Betânia

Betânia, a 65-year-old family matriarch, is on a turbulent ride on the ever-shifting sands of time. In the wake of her husband’s death, Betânia is forced to move back to the village where she was born, leaving behind a lifetime of memories and a simple, agrarian lifestyle without electricity on the edge of a newborn Brazilian desert not so far from Amazon, the “Lençóis Maranhenses National Park”.
