Joana, a 30-year-old woman, returns to the rural settlement in Paraná where she spent her childhood to work as a teacher. Her homecoming compels her to confront long-buried memories, including the murder of her father by landowners amid the region’s conflict over land rights. Dance of the Fireflies is a poetic reflection on emotional landscapes, flickers of history, fragments of collective memory, and the social struggle in the countryside.
