Moa

A couple’s relationship is tested when they see each other on different sides of an environmental issue. She is a scientist writing a report about the impacts of pollution in their hometown, Moa, while he works for the nickel mining company, the culprit. After Solange is fired because of the research, her parents come to visit. Everything that has been gravitating in the atmosphere of ordinary life comes together, making the emotional pendulum of this situation swing out of balance. Dismissal from her job causes Solange to experience a withdrawal from reality as if she no longer were the protagonist of her days. As her isolation deepens, mysterious things begin to happen: death and toxic contamination everywhere, fog, waste, and suspicious friends. Bloated, dead animals emerge at the edge of a dry mangrove swamp. She feels as if someone is constantly observing her routine. Surprisingly, the constant exposure to death gives her the strength to keep on working on the investigation. Finding out she is pregnant leads her to understand that, despite all the obstacles, she must find a way to freedom.
