Julia Mann – Memórias do Paraíso(2003)

The story of Julia Mann, mother of the famous German writer Thomas Mann, is revealed in this documentary. Born in Brazil, crossing between Angra dos Reis and Paraty, at the age of seven she was taken to Germany, where she spent most of her life trying to adapt to customs very different from those she knew from her childhood. This tragic rupture marked her life and gave rise to one of the most unique families in the history of literature. It includes two of the most important German writers of the 20th century (Thomas Mann and Heinrich Mann), as well as characters marked by exile, death and flight.
