Abstract
In this article, the Argentinean movie from 2013 Nosilatiaj. La Belleza (Beauty) by Daniela Seggiaro is studied through the intersection of ecocritical, feminist and postcolonial studies. The theoretical connection is exemplified by pictures, scenes and dialogues chosen from the film and considered in relation to the recent expansion of soya bean agriculture in the Dry Chaco Forest in northern Argentina, a region known for its rich biological and cultural diversity. Following one of the main characters, an indigenous girl named Yolanda, the article deals with the social and environmental impact of deforestation upon the Wichí people, considering especially the roll of gender in its outcome. It is suggested that the film’s narrative structure and its visual language call attention to the both Yolanda and the forest silenced voices.
