For Your Sake

Zulma is a teenage peasant growing up in a deeply religious, rural community in the jungles of Misiones, on the Argentina–Brazil border. From a young age, she submits to the family’s and church’s mandates, accepting a prescribed fate. Her parents arrange for her to marry David, an aspiring priest and son of her father’s business partner. But when domestic life becomes unbearable, Zulma embarks on a desperate quest for emancipation. She takes radical steps “for her good,” risking her identity and freedom in a story where tradition, rebellion, and the jungle serve as a catalyzing force.
