The Days with Him

The Days with Him delves into the journey of a young filmmaker, Maria Clara Escobar, as she seeks to uncover the hidden past of her father, a Brazilian intellectual who endured imprisonment and torture during the military dictatorship. The film captures her discoveries and frustrations in accessing memories that are often overlooked in public discourse.

At 105 minutes, this documentary presents a poignant exploration of silence and memory within a personal and national context. It reveals the challenges of addressing a past that remains largely unspoken, both by her father and by the broader society. Escobar's pursuit of understanding reveals both intimate family dynamics and the broader historical narrative of Brazil during a period of repression.
