Documentary

At a time when Brazil was becoming a democracy (1985-1995), four women — Jô, Eunice, Alessa and Fabiana — became mothers while still in their teens. Political evolution and the abrupt entry into adulthood and motherhood are mixed in a film that shows their domestic space, built from personal archives, as well as contemporary images, filmed by the protagonists in 2018, during the election campaign of Jair Bolsonaro.
