What happens in I'm Still Here from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

In 1970, Rio de Janeiro is gripped by a tightening military dictatorship, and a family trying to find moments of ordinary life within the storm. Eunice Paiva and her children—Marcelo, Vera, Eliana, Nalu, and Maria Beatriz (Babiu)—welcome a stray dog they name Pimpao, a small beacon of warmth that they decide to keep despite knowing it might provoke trouble at home. The household’s rhythm centers on Eunice’s quiet strength and the father’s shadow: Rubens, a former congressman who lost his seat after the 1964 coup and has since drifted into self-imposed exile. The children grow up amid the tension of a country in flux, each day a balance between schoolyard innocence and a society that demands silence.
