MELBOURNE PREMIERE

Menarca filmmaker Lillah Halla returned to the Cannes Film Festival with this electro dance music-driven story about a promising young volleyball player facing down the patriarchy in São Paulo. Sofia (Ayomi Domenica Dias) is on the cusp of making it big, with the Youth Volleyball Contest on the horizon and scouts checking her out. Things are going well with girlfriend and fellow teammate Bel (Loro Bardot), too, when she discovers, much to her shock, that she’s pregnant in a conservative country where women do not have the choice of a legal abortion. Everything spirals from there in this bracing drama that was nominated for Cannes' Queer Palm, Caméra d’Or, Critics' Week Grand Prize and won the FIPRESCI Parallel Sections Award.
