Nominated for three Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actress, and Best International Picture! In 1970s Brazil, six years after the coup d'état that overthrew President Goulart, former congressman Rubens Paiva lives a joyous life with his wife Eunice (a Golden Globe-winning performance by Fernanda Torres) and their five children on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro. However, when the Swiss ambassador is kidnapped by agents of the revolution, the new dictatorship's military begins the hunt for those responsible. Authorities raid the Paiva household and take Rubens away "for questioning," leaving behind a shattered family. As Eunice desperately searches for any indication of her husband's whereabouts, she finds that keeping her family from fracturing further is just as difficult as discovering the truth. Based on the novel Ainda Estou Aqui by Marcelo Rubens Paiva—the son of Rubens Paiva—and directed by Walter Salles (The Motorcycle Diaries, Central Station), who grew up with the Paiva family, I'm Still Here is a harrowing yet tender look at the importance of resilience, family, and community during unthinkably hard times. "Heartrending yet never maudlin, I’m Still Here is a humanist drama that, in shining a light on insidious injustice, becomes a balm to warn and warm its audiences in equal measure."—Manuel Betancourt, The A.V. Club.
