Le cinéaste brésilien évoque, dans un entretien au « Monde » les échos entre son film, qui revient sur l’enlèvement d’un ingénieur durant la dictature, et la situation que traverse son pays.
The main conceptual idea of the text is Walter Salles's film "Je suis toujours là".
The film, an adaptation of Marcelo Paiva's book, examines the disappearance of Paiva's father, Rubens Paiva, an engineer and left-wing former deputy, during Brazil's military dictatorship.
Salles connects the film to the present-day situation in Brazil, using the theme of amnesty leading to amnesia to highlight the need to remember and confront the country's past. The film is a critical and commercial success, particularly in Brazil, and is considered a potential Oscar contender.
