Synopsis

“Irmã Dulce” tells the emotional story of the woman who, nominated for the Nobel Prize, called “Anjo Bom da Bahia” and beatified by the Church, never cared about titles.

​

The story of a woman whose sole purpose was to comfort the needy, care for the sick, support the poor - at any cost, with the help of anyone. Able to cross Salvador at dawn to hold a street child or to ask for money from a politician on the platform, Sister Dulce faced external enemies - prejudice, machismo, dogmas - and an intern: an incurable respiratory disease. He passed through them with obstinacy, joy, love and faith and built a work that, until today, only grows, as the devotion for it grows. The film Irmã Dulce tells a true and emotional story of a woman who brings together three of our defining qualities as Brazilians: faith, joy and obstinacy

The documentary Cássia portrays the icon of the Brazilian music scene in the 90s.
