Brazil, 1971: a country in the tightening grip of a military dictatorship. A mother is forced to reinvent herself when her family’s life is shattered by an act of arbitrary violence. Based on Marcelo Rubens Paiva’s best-selling memoir.

“Played wonderfully by Fernanda Torres, Eunice is onscreen almost throughout. She’s at the centre of a family drama and political thriller that really blossoms as a survival story.” — TimeOut

“Walter Salles’ superb factually-based film — he was a real-life friend of the Paiva family as a teenager — is an engrossing, affecting tribute to a formidable woman and her family.” — Screen International
