Brazil, the 1970s. The joyous beachside life of the Paiva family in Rio de Janeiro comes to an end when Rubens, the father, is taken away by thugs of the military dictatorship.

After her own incarceration, his wife Eunice must reinvent herself to keep the family thriving together. Based on the real-life story and memoirs of a family’s resilience and determination to find justice and peace, Fernanda Torres’s performance as Eunice Paiva is brilliantly understated.

The film received an Academy Award for best international feature of 2025. “Shining (and) thoroughly convincing” Sight and Sound.
