A very childish, yet sad and worrying, scope

A very childish, yet sad and worrying, scope on the personal consequences of Brazil's military dictatorship, specially when it's seen throguh the eyes of a little boy.

In an effort to flee from a repressive

In an effort to flee from a repressive military regime, before escaping, a young couple leaves their child with the boy's grandfather, unaware that he had died the previous day. Alone in Sao Paolo, the boy is taken in by the tightly-knit Jewish community, where, much like his escaping parents, he must come to terms with a world he is unable to fully understand. The Year My Parents Went on Vacation is a poignant Brazilian film set during 1970's World Cup, the only event that could bring a fractured country together. The performances are understated but effective, the hand-held camerawork gives the film a feeling of authenticity, and the script never allows the sentimental story to become maudlin.

I love when an audience stays quiet and

I love when an audience stays quiet and doesn't move through the entire credits. This movie ended that way. I've got two thoughts; 1. I love Jewish People, and this movie did have a focus on Jewish people. 2. This movie left me feeling very ignorant. There is so little that we (I) know. I have never thought or imagined Jewish people living in Brazil, I did not know that Brazil was affected by the cold war, or that people went into exile as a result. I left with homework, as there are questions that I need answered...
