Für immer hier (Kommunales Kino (Koki))

In the organizer's words:

During the military dictatorship in Brazil, which lasted from 1964 to 1985, many critics of the regime were arrested, tortured and murdered. Their surviving relatives never found out what had happened to them. Eunice Paiva was one of them. She witnessed her husband being arrested in Rio de Janeiro in the early 1970s without explanation. His disappearance turned Paiva into a fierce political campaigner who also had to keep her family together. She studied law and campaigned for the victims of persecution throughout her life. One of her children, Marcelo Rubens Paiva, wrote down the family history and his book forms the basis of this film. Its strength lies in its unagitated calm, its almost documentary-like restrained narrative style. Aggression, anger and violence recede into the background. Director Walter Salles' work draws its impact from the strength and presence of a single woman. The leading actress Fernanda Torres embodies Eunice Paiva with a vehement and at the same time quiet resilience, without any melodrama. Walter Salles succeeds in bringing the history of his home country to life through the individual fate of this indomitable woman. The award of this year's Oscar for Best International Film was the reward.
