Followed by virtual Q&A with director Lívia Perez

A tender meditation on love, identity, and resilience, M is for Mothers follows Brazilian couple Melanie and Marcela as they embark on their motherhood journey. As Melanie carries their twins, she wrestles with fears of childbirth, while Marcela, eager to bond, takes hormones to induce lactation. Their devotion radiates through every frame in this intimate portrait of queer motherhood.

In Who Killed Eloá, director Lívia Perez dissects Brazil’s most infamous femicide, exposing media sensationalism and systemic misogyny. A gripping feminist inquiry into justice and gender violence, the film confronts the disturbing ways the press turns tragedy into spectacle.
