ABOUT UNDER THE HEAVENS:
"Seiva Bruta / Under the Heavens" is a short about the pain of abandonment, and how the current political crisis in Venezuela has strongly impacted the structure and stability of Venezuelan families. It follows the story of a Venezuelan mother whose ability to breastfeed causes her fate to be forever intertwined with a young mother and her baby, while immigrating to Brazil to find work to support their families.
In Spanish and Portuguese with English subtitles.
