I’m Still Here Ainda Estou Aqui
Synopsis
Rio de Janeiro, early 1970s. The Paivas family lives under the tightening grip of Brazil’s military dictatorship. Rubens is a former politician, and his wife Eunice (Fernanda Montenegro) is devoted to their five children. They live an enchanted life by the beach surrounded by friends and family, and their humor and affection appear to be their only forms of resistance to the increasing oppression that surrounds them — until the day a violent and arbitrary act changes their lives forever.
In his first fiction film since 2012’s On the Road, the acclaimed director of Central Station and The Motorcycle Diaries delivers another powerful political and human drama about his home country, lead by a stunning performance from Central Station star Fernanda Montenegro as the matriarch who must reinvent herself to carve out a new destiny for her family. A gripping tale of Brazil’s dark history, I’m Still Here marks a forceful and masterfully crafted return for the Brazilian auteur.
