Scott, THE NEW YORK TIMES »Sensitive, delicate and involving! » — Deborah Young, VARIETY Product Description In 1970, Brazil and the world seem to have been turned upside-down. Twelve year-old Mauro’s worries have nothing to do with the military regime which controls the country – he’s more interested in Pele and the upcoming World Cup. He is a young middle-class boy from Minas Gerais as well as ardent soccer fan, born to a Jewish father and a Catholic mother who one day sees his whole world change dramatically. His parents leave on « vacation » without giving him any feasible explanation and without taking him along. Instead, he is handed over to his grandfather, who lives in the Bom Retiro district of So Paulo, a strange and fun-filled community home to large Jewish and Italian communities. Mauro soon finds himself alone in a completely new world. « The Year My Parents Went On Vacation » is a moving story about overcoming your limits, friendship and solidarity.
