Based on a true story, LITTLE SECRET follows the lives of a young girl and three women who share a secret that will change their lives forever.
Adopted by a loving family after facing the loss of her parents, Kat (Mariana Goulart) led a life full of adventures, sailing around the world. Now in her tee- nage years she is trying to fit into a “normal” life – something that proves to be much harder than she expects. After discovering a secret that threatens her life, Kat wonders if her dreams are still possible.
The keeper of the secret, Kat’s adoptive mother Heloisa (Julia Lemmertz) is a strong, loving woman, a dedicated mother who struggles to maintain the family together in the face of an unpredictable future. Jeanne (Maria Flor), a beautiful young woman from the Amazon region of Brazil, falls in love with Robert (Errol Shand), a New Zealander, and discovers that her possibilities are infinite – but fate has plans of its own. Barbara (Fionnula Flanagan), a stern, cold Englishwo- man, is used to getting what she wants. When the past comes calling, she sets out on a journey to rediscover love.
The journeys of these three women will cross borders and show that in a world where people are pulled apart by racism and tragedy, friendship, tolerance and love can still prevail.
