Toll / Pedágio
International Feature Film Competition
When Suellen runs out of money, her only option is to return to her toxic ex. As a single mother working at a toll booth, she can barely make ends meet, and she worries about her son’s pronounced femininity. Hoping for an actual miracle, she decides to send him to costly conversion therapy. But can she control her partner’s criminal and violent impulses? Don’t be fooled by the slow start – things quickly spiral, and each character must fight for their life. Literally! This Portuguese-Brazilian crime drama delivers mercilessly dry humor, exposes the absurdity of religious fanaticism, and has won dozens of awards and nominations at festivals around the world.
