Joana, a teenager, feeds her soul with literature and rock. In 1979, when amnesty is granted in Brazil, she lives with her family in Paris. Overnight and against her will, Joana moves back to the country she barely remembers.
This bittersweet, genre-bending debut feature tells an intimate coming-of-age story against the vivid backdrop of political exile under a military dictatorship. Punctuated by epoch-defining music, _ Deslembro_ explores the struggles of forgetting and the deep bonds of family in 70s Rio de Janeiro.
