- Synopsis
- A visually stunning and emotionally charged coming-of-age adventure, Northern Strawberry follows Biliu, a bold and curious black girl from Brazil’s rural Northeast, as she embarks on an exhilarating road trip to defy poverty, patriarchy, and religious oppression in pursuit of freedom and self-discovery.
  
  Narrated by her older self, the film explores themes of gender, identity, violence, and resilience with a blend of irony, emotion, and cultural depth.
  
  Set in the 1990s, it vividly captures the vibrant spirit of the Brazilian backlands while offering a powerful reflection on its global connections.
  
  With its modern cinematic language and striking visuals, Northern Strawberry is both an exhilarating road movie and a deeply human story, one that transcends borders and leaves audiences inspired by the journey toward self-liberation.
