I’m Still Here
by Murilo Hauser and Heitor Lorega, adapted by Sofia Costa Franco
It is 1971. A military dictatorship has been ruling Brazil for over seven years. The Paivas, a family of seven, are leading somewhat ordinary lives, tinted by the fear and repression of their country’s political system. But all of this is turned on its head when the father, Rubens Paiva, is kidnapped by the government and taken hostage due to his previous political involvement. Eunice, his wife, must now scramble to find out where he is, what has happened to him, and try to get him home, all while caring for her home and children and navigating the watchful eye of government officials. How will she fare?
