Walter Salles makes a triumphant return with an emotionally layered, visually rich account of family life under an oppressive regime in 1970s Brazil.

The Paiva family are shattered when Ernesto is abducted by the military junta and Eunice (renowned Brazilian actor Fernanda Montenegro) must lead their family and fight for justice.

Salles’ adaptation of Marcelo Rubens Paiva’s 2015 memoir is a profoundly moving portrait of resistance – the intelligent and humane kind of cinema we have come to expect from the director of Central Station and The Motorcycle Diaries.
