Rio de Janeiro, early 1970s. Brazil faces the tightening grip of a military dictatorship. We are introduced to the Paivas: a father, Rubens, a mother, Eunice (Fernanda Torres), and their five children. They live by the beach, in a rented house with doors constantly open to friends. The affection and humor they share among themselves are their own forms of resistance to the oppression that hangs over the country. One day, they experience a violent and arbitrary act that will forever change their lives. In the aftermath, Eunice is forced to reinvent herself and carve out a new future for herself and her children.

I'M STILL HERE (AINDA ESTOU AQUI) is a poignant exploration of Brazil's hidden history, based on the personal memoir of Marcelo Rubens Paiva and his family during the turbulent years of the dictatorship. The film highlights the trauma, resilience, and enduring strength of those who lived through the regime's repression. Directed by Walter Salles, acclaimed for Central Station and The Motorcycle Diaries, the film has garnered widespread acclaim. It won the 2025 Academy Award for Best International Feature Film, with Fernanda Torres earning the 2025 Golden Globe for Best Actress.
