Eunice is captured and pressured by the regime to betray her friends and family. When she is released 12 days later, she goes all out to stand up to the corrupt regime and fight for the rights of thousands of disappeared, innocent citizens and their families. Director Walter Salles (Central Station, The Motorcycle Diaries, On the Road) is back as a fiction director after a long time and, with this powerful portrait, makes his first film in 16 years in his native country Brazil, where the film became an outright box office hit. The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival and actress Fernanda Torres won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in the ‘Motion Picture – Drama’ category for her role.
