The Year My Parents Went on Vacation (Hamburger, 2006): BFI Southbank, NFT2, 8.30pm

This film, part of the Brazilian film season at BFI Southbank, is also screened on June 1st. You can find all the details here.

BFI introduction:
Left with relatives while his parents ‘disappear’ during the dictatorship, a football-obsessed boy finds community in a São Paulo neighbourhood. Cao Hamburger filters political trauma through childhood perception, blending humour and melancholy. It’s a tender coming-of-age story shaped by absence, memory and solidarity, with the 1970 World Cup as a national soundtrack.

Here (and above) is the trailer.
