    • Synopsis
    • Ana (Débora Falabella) is a writer who, in search of inspiration for her next novel
      "Violeta," joins a renowned literary laboratory in the Andes Mountain Range. During
      this journey, she becomes involved with Holden (Darío Grandinetti), the creator of a
      method in which writers abandon their own lives to live as their characters. The
      charismatic leader ends up captivating Ana, who immerses herself in an intense
      artistic investigation, living as her character Violeta – until the balance between
      reality and fiction spirals out of control. The film is inspired by the novel
      "Cordilheira" by Daniel Galera.
