Sunflower

A mature and tender flower, unaware of the adverse conditions, went through a storm and got lost in it at one point. It did everything to rise again, not returning to its natural state, facing battles it never thought it would, even witnessing them firsthand.

Throughout these moments, the veil that hides the cancer is lifted, and a vivid testimony is given to moments of anguish and fear, but also to how these are overcome and one rises again. This documentary is about rebirth, transformation, bonds, and giving. It is a call to awareness in an attempt to sensitize mindsets and pay tribute to all the women and families who have undergone or are still undergoing this violent and troubled journey. Above all, it is a tribute to Augusta Cancela, my moth
