Olga
Lots of passions in just one life
Directed by Jayme Monjardim
Produced by Globo Filmes, Lumiere
A harrowing historical drama tracing one woman's tragic journey through political persecution and Nazi genocide, grounded in intimate human bonds amid systemic brutality.
Based upon the true story of Olga Benário, the German-born wife of Brazilian communist leader Luís Carlos Prestes. During the dictatorship of Getúlio Vargas (1930-1945) she was arrested and sent to Nazi Germany, where she was put to death in a concentration camp. After World War II began, Vargas decided to uphold the Allies.
