After her mother's death, uptight Mira Freeman uncovers a family secret that leaves her in doubt of her identity. She impulsively buys a ticket to Brazil and enters the chaos of Carnaval, where reality and mythology blur. As she desperately seeks answers about her past, visions of a Sankofa bird act as her tormentor... or her savior. Combining animation, found super-8 footage, mobile technology, and a totally percussive soundtrack, MIRA MIRA is an exploration into the complexities of grief, race, mythology, and identity.
