Estamira

Estamira is a powerful documentary that follows the life of a 63-year-old woman living with schizophrenia. We meet her as she navigates her daily routine, picking through garbage at a disposal area in Rio de Janeiro. At first, her stream-of-consciousness thoughts and delusions are difficult to understand, but as we get to know her, we see moments of quiet and lucidity. Despite her illness, Estamira is a woman of strength and resilience, and her story offers a poignant look into the human experience.
