Description:
Léa is released from prison and returns to Sol Nascente, a favela in Brasilia, where she reconnects with her half-sister, Chitara. Chitara leads an all-female gang that steals and refines oil from underground pipes, selling gasoline to a network of motorcyclists. Operating in defiance of the authoritarian government of Jair Bolsonaro, Chitara and her women fight for control of the streets as a bold statement of resistance for those marginalized by society.
