Details.
Wiki.
País do Desejo is a 2012 drama film co-written and directed by Paulo Caldas. The film premiered at the 35th São Paulo International Film Festival.
The film is based on a 2009 real-life case in which a 9-year-old Brazilian girl became pregnant after years of sexual abuse committed by her stepfather. As the pregnancy was the result of a rape and represented a risk to the girl's life, she underwent an abortion, as is provided for under Brazilian law.
The story is told from the center of the crisis of a Catholic priest that is positioned against the decision of the Archbishop of the Church to excommunicate the mother, the girl, and the doctors involved in the abortion.
