About I'm Still Here
Walter Salles’ first narrative feature in 12 years honours the director’s childhood memories of his subjects, packed with evocative details and layered emotion.
On a sun-soaked street under the shadow of a military dictatorship, the Paiva household is bursting at the seams with life and love. Eunice and Rubens’ five children bring a contained chaos to their stream of parties, political debates and impromptu living room dancing, until one afternoon the safety of their home is breached. Family life descends slowly into a nightmare when Rubens is abducted in plain sight, dragging Eunice into a lifelong battle for truth and justice.
Featuring a stunning, Oscar nominated performance from Fernanda Torres, Salles’ humanistic ode to resilience spans decades of determined activism, imbuing a dark chapter of Brazil’s history with dignity and emotional resonance.
