Brazil, 1971. As the nation faces the tightening grip of a military dictatorship, the Paiva family lives surrounded by love in their Rio home. But when a violent and arbitrary act by the government throws them into disarray, Eunice Paiva (Fernanda Torres) – mother of five children, and wife to a husband she may never see again – is forced to reinvent her life.

Based on Marcelo Rubens Paiva’s biographical book, I’m Still Here tells a powerful true story that helped reconstruct an important part of Brazil’s hidden history.
