Daniela Thomas / BR, PT, 2017 / 116 min.

Daniela Thomas made an astonishing portrait in black and white of a Brazil which is usually hidden from view. Vazante is the story of a large landowner and slave owner in 1820: when his wife dies in childbed, he marries 12-year-old Beatriz. The girl is raised in the black slave community and has to find her own way in a harsh world.
