During the turbulent era of the early 1970s, Brazil was under the oppressive grip of a military dictatorship that instilled fear and uncertainty among its citizens. In the midst of this oppressive regime, the Paiva family, consisting of Rubens, Eunice, and their five children, resided in a quaint beachside house in Rio de Janeiro. The family home was always bustling with the laughter and love of their friends, creating a sense of community and solidarity in the face of adversity. However, their peaceful existence was shattered one fateful day when Rubens was abruptly taken away for questioning by the authorities and never returned. The sudden disappearance of the family patriarch sent shockwaves through the tight-knit community, leaving Eunice and her children grappling with the harsh reality of their new normal. As they navigated the uncertain terrain of life without Rubens, they were forced to confront the harsh realities of living under an oppressive regime that sought to silence dissent and instill fear in its citizens.
