Just before a crucial volleyball tournament, Sofia finds out that she is unwillingly pregnant. With abortion severely restricted in Brazil, she must fight for self-determination in a patriarchal society. Determined to take matters into her own hands, Sofia embarks on an emotional and physical journey.
In the process, she is met with the support of close friends and fellow players, but also the resistance of a society that places its own moral standards above the right to self-determination.
Thanks to the gripping narrative style and the strong performance of the main character, Levante succeeds both as an intense drama and as an astute commentary on social reality in Brazil.
