Body and Soul
( De Corpo e Alma )

Matthieu Bron
2010 - 54 min - HDV 720 p - Couleur - Mozambique

The film tells the stories of Victória, Mariana and Vasco, three young Mozambicans with physical disabilities, living in the townships of Maputo, Mozambique's capital city.
Victória transmits the self-esteem she received from her education to other physically disabled women by organizing a fashion show; Mariana uses her social energy to create helpful friendships and overcome the urban architectonical barriers and Vasco does business, repairing shoes in the informal sector.
Their daily lives reveal their physical, psychological and emotional challenges. The film explores how they look at themselves and others and raises universal questions about self-acceptance and how to find one's place in society.
