A warm family home slowly hollowed out by a dictatorship, held together by one woman's astonishing quiet resolve — devastating and beautiful.
What it is
During Brazil’s 1971 military dictatorship, a mother’s ordinary family life is shattered when her husband is taken away in a violent, arbitrary act. Forced to protect her children, seek answers, and rebuild their future, she gradually reinvents herself while confronting the lasting effects of political repression.
