AÇÚCAR brings to the surface a lifelong Brazilian malady: Slavery. The film is set in a universe of magic realism that crosses the personal story of Bethania with the identity formation of a country that is modern and archaic, contemporary and ancestral, white and much, much more black.Bethania returns to her fields where once was a sugar mill named after her family, Wanderley’s Mill.
