### LENITA-TRACES OF A LADY

by Dacio Pinheiro

Brazil, Germany| 2023 | 82 min. | DCP - 16/9 - Color | Portuguese, English, German | Culture, Society

A deck of cards discovered at an antique fair reveals the eccentric past of famous Arabian horse breeder, photographer and filmmaker Lenita Perroy. A pioneer in fashion photography in the 1960's and one of the few female directors of Brazilian cinema of the 1970's, Lenita abandoned her artistic career and devoted herself to the two great passions of her childhood: fairy tales and horses. The documentary unravels the story of a remarkable woman devoted to the pursuit of beauty and perfection through her forgotten collection of fashion photography, her films and her mastery in the creation of Arabian horses.
