Australian Premiere at MQFF 2025

This remarkable debut feature from director Rafaela Camelo had its world premiere at the 2025 Berlinale and has been making waves on the queer festival circuit. Already awarded Outstanding First Narrative Feature by the San Francisco Film Critics Circle, this poetic Brazilian film tells the touching story of two ten-year-old girls spending their summer holiday at a hospital - one because her mother is a busy nurse, and the other, a trans girl, because her grandmother is a patient.

Through remarkable performances from its young leads, the film captures Brazil through a unique matriarchal lens, weaving together themes of childhood friendship, gender identity, and family bonds. Running time: 1 hour 30 minutes. In Portuguese with English subtitles.

This critically acclaimed film has been praised as "among the best of international cinema this year" and stands as one of MQFF's must-see selections for 2025.
