Like Water Through Stone - Where the heart breaks, the mountain listens

In the chill of winter in the Espinhaço Mountains, a circle of small-town Brazilian girls is on the brink of womanhood.

With impossible loves scarring their skin and shaping their dreams, they move through a landscape as wounded and beautiful as they are. As each girl confronts solitude in her own way, their stories form a tender portrait of female friendship, emotional resilience, and the aching passage of time. Love fades, but the mountain remembers.
