EXCLUSIVE: Brazilian director Gabe Kinger’s second feature Isabel world premieres in Berlin’s Panorama section next week and Deadline can reveal a first clip. Actress and TV personality Marina Persona plays the titular Isabel, a sommelière in São Paulo’s fine-dining scene, who dreams of escaping her controlling boss and opening her own wine bar, where she decides what goes in the glass. Flying in the face of male arrogance and the city’s penchant for beer and Brazil’s national drink, the caipirinha, Isabel opens a small neighborhood wine, called Os Rejeitados (The Rejects) and specializing in natural wine… what could possibly go wrong?
