Audiences will understand what it feels like to inhabit a body marked by hunger and societal hatred . They will follow Ana as she overcomes the overwhelming pressure needed to break the mold and see how her sense of self transforms and her relationship to her body is healed as the community teaches her to love herself . As people living in the developed economic center of cities , it is difficult to truly understand what it means to live on the “ outskirts ”. In Brazil , it means that you are putting your life and your ability to love on the line whenever you fight for your rights . Passoni ’ s hope is for the audience to care about Ana and to understand what is at stake for her . She hopes that the themes of finding the courage to love and feeling love ’ s power are recognized in the film .
