On January 20 1971, Brazilian civil engineer and former congressman Rubens Paiva was arrested at his Rio de Janeiro home by officials of the country’s military dictatorship. His wife Eunice and 15-year-old daughter Eliana were also taken in for interrogation. They were released — Eunice after a full 12 days — but Rubens never returned home. It was only years later that Eunice — who studied to become a lawyer in her quest to establish the truth of her husband’s fate — learnt the facts around his death.
1971年1月20日,巴西土木工程師和前國會議員魯本斯•派瓦(Rubens Paiva)在里約熱內盧的家中被該國軍事獨裁政權的官員逮捕。他的妻子尤妮斯和15歲的女兒埃莉安娜也被帶去審問。她們被釋放了——尤妮斯在被拘留了整整12天後獲釋——但魯本斯再也沒有回家。多年後,尤妮斯爲了查明丈夫的命運而學習成爲律師,才瞭解到他死亡的真相。
