'Amlia' is a 2001 Brazilian comedy-drama film directed by Ana Carolina, inspired by the visit of French actress Sarah Bernhardt to Brazil, in 1905.

However, the actress is forced to live with the exotic sisters of Amlia.
Ana Carolina had already written the screenplay for the film in 1989, but does not produced due to lack of money. It was shot in Pernambuco and Rio de Janeiro. It debuted at the Biarritz Film Festival where Batrice Agenin won the best actress award. The film received three nominations at the Grande Prmio do Cinema Brasileiro in the categories of best actress, for Miriam Muniz, best screenplay and best art direction.
