Brazil, 1971 — a country in the tightening grip of a military dictatorship
A mother (Fernanda Torres) is forced to reinvent herself when her family's life is shattered by an act of arbitrary violence. I’m Still Here is adapted from Marcelo Rubens Paiva's biographical book and tells the true story that helped reconstruct an important part of Brazil’s hidden history.
Winner of the Oscar® for Best International Feature Film, I’m Still Here is the first feature film in twelve years from two-time BAFTA winning auteur Walter Salles — delivering in equal parts a gripping political thriller and intimate family drama. Based around a tour-de-force performance from Fernanda Torres as matriarch Eunice Paiva, the film is a confidently executed and thoroughly moving tribute to the disappeared and the fearlessness of those left behind.
