In Your Name...

In Your Name...

In the early seventies, Latin America was going through a period dominated by military dictatorships. In Brazil, the regime was at its peak. Society organised itself and resisted in a number of ways. Some political groups chose armed resistance to fight the regime.

From this context, In Your Name… tells the story of Boni, a humble Architecture student who joined armed resistance but has his own doubts and fears about it. Boni fears for his family, his girlfriend and the future, which grows uncertain day by day.

Like many others, Boni is arrested, tortured and banned from the country in exchange for the Swiss ambassador amongst the so called GRUPO DOS 70 (The Group of 70). 

With his wife Cecilia, he is exiled to Chile where he starts to work and gets to know the Chilean people. This experience makes him start looking at the world in a more open and humane way. The military coup overthrows Allende and changes his life all over again.

With Cecilia and their son (who was born in Chile), Boni then flees to Algeria and later to Paris, where he is elected President of the Comitê Brasileiro da Luta pela Anistia (Brazilian Committee in the Fight for Amnesty).

He returns to Brazil nine years after his enforced exile with a new dimension of the world. This is a quest, a journey that takes him through the inner and outer obstacles of a life consciously lived, returning once again to the place where he begin, a changed man to a changed land.
