In the early 1970s, the military dictatorship in Brazil reaches its height. The Paiva family – Rubens, Eunice, and their five children – live in a beachside house in Rio, open to all their friends. One day, Rubens is taken for questioning and does not return.

“Brazilian cinema is no stranger to films about the regime, from Camilo Galli Tavares’s ‘The Day That Lasted 21 Years’ to Cao Hamburger’s ‘The Year My Parents Went on Vacation’.
