The Silence of Eva

The Silence of Eva revisits the story of Eva Nil, a star of Brazil’s silent cinema who abandoned her career at its peak and fell into oblivion. Actress Inês Peixoto traces her path, revives lost scenes, and investigates the silences of a woman ahead of her time. With a poetic approach, the documentary pays tribute to cinema’s memory, to the female force behind the screen, and to the erased stories that deserve to be told.
