Unsoul (Brazilian Portuguese : Desalma) is a Brazilian supernatural drama web television series, written by Ana Paula Maia, and broadcast by Globoplay since October 21, 2020. [1]

Contents

The series was shown at the Berlin International Film Festival, [2] where it was acclaimed for its history and photography by viewers and various film experts. [3] [4]

The Brazilian production will be shown internationally through distribution by Sony Pictures Television [5] in one of the partnerships with Grupo Globo.

Plot

The story begins with the disappearance of the young Halyna (Anna Melo) in 1988, in the fictional city of Brígida (Ukrainian: Бріжіда), [6] founded by Ukrainian immigrants in the countryside of Southern Brazil. [7]

At the time of the disappearance, the town celebrated Ivana-Kupala, a feast with pagan origins and linked to fertility rites that was incorporated later into the calendar of Orthodox Christians, and in fact is held at the turn of 6 to 7 July. The tragedy caused the feast to be banned from the city's calendar, and thirty years later, when tradition is resumed, mysterious events happen again. [8]
