Summaries

Storyline

One afternoon in 1971, Rubens Paiva, a former congressman and outspoken critic of Brazil's newly instituted military dictatorship, was taken from his home in Rio de Janeiro by government officials, told nothing more than that he must give a "deposition" to authorities, and disappeared. Adapted from his son Marcelo Rubens Paiva's memoir, this overwhelming, richly realized political drama from Walter Salles (The Motorcycle Diaries) stays tightly wedded to the perspective of Rubens's wife, Eunice (a shattering Fernanda Torres), whose indefatigable search for the truth about her husband would stretch out for decades. A devastating true story, I'm Still Here is exhilarating in its portrayal of human tenacity in the face of injustice. Featuring a deeply affecting appearance from Fernanda Montenegro, Oscar nominee for Salles's Central Station. A Sony Pictures Classics release. In 1971, in Rio de Janeiro, former congressman Rubens Paiva is a family man and engineer, who lives with his wife Eunice Paiva and their five children at Avenida Delfim Moreira, in front of the Leblon Beach. One afternoon, several men arrive at their home and ask him to go with them to a "deposition" to the authorities while three of them stay with his family. Then they take Eunice and her teenage daughter Eliana with hoods to give a statement at an unknown place. Eunice remains arrested for several days while listening to the torture of other people. She returns home, moves with her family to São Paulo and never sees her husband again. — Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
