Walter Salles tells the true story of the Pavia family, where he went in and out as a child, in a touching way. His deeply humanistic film is a declaration of love to democratic Brazil that bows to those who fought against injustice.
Rio de Janeiro, at the beginning of the 1970s. Brazil is in the firm grip of a military dictatorship. Father Rubens, mother Eunice and their five children. They live in a rented house on the beach, whose doors are always open to friends. The affection and humor they share with each other is their own subtle form of resistance to the oppression that prevails in the country. One day, they are the victims of a violent, arbitrary attack that will change their lives forever. As a result, Eunice is forced to reinvent herself and create a new future for herself and her children. Based on Marcelo Rubens Paiva's memoirs, this moving story made an important contribution to the reappraisal of a significant part of
of Brazil's silenced history.
