Description
Monday, January 15, 2007 @ 4:00 PM
BRAZIL, 2004, 141 minutes
Portuguese with English Subtitles
Directed by Jayme Montjardim

The film adaptation of Fernando Moraisa best-seller of the same title "Olga" chronicles the true life story of the German revolutionary Olga Benario Prestes from her youth in Munich to her romance with Communist leader Lui­s Carlos Prestes in Brazil and finally to her forced return to Hitlers Nazi regime. Olga was born in a Jewish family in Munich, Germany, in 1908, and joined the Communist Youth Organization at the age of 15. In 1934, she was entrusted with guaranteeing the safe return of Prestes to Brazil. While posing as husband and wife, the pair fell in love. After the failure of the communist revolution the next year, Olga and Prestes were arrested and separated from each other. As an act of personal vengeance against Prestes, dictator Vargas had Olga, seven months pregnant, deported to Nazi Germany. On arrival she was taken to a Gestapo womens prison. On November 27, 1936, exactly one year after the failed revolution, Anita Leocadia was born. In 1938, Olag was deported to a Nazi concentration camp and killed in 1942. One of the most popular films of 2004 in Brazil, it was the countrys official entry for the Best Foreign Film Oscar this year.

(Winner of three Brazilian Film Academy Awards, and Brazil's 2004 Oscar submission for Best Foreign Picture)
