- Synopsis
- Stitch by stitch, frame by frame and memory by memory, this multi-awarded stop motion animated documentary unveils Heleny Guariba's life history.
  Heleny was a philosopher, professor and theatre director who disappeared in 1971 under the Brazilian dictatorship.
  It is inspired by the arpilleras, a unique form of protest emerged from the horrors of Pinochet regime in Chile.
  Tapestries made with leftovers of fabric and simple stitches able to denounce what could not have been told in words.
