Brazil 1977: During the exuberant Carnival week, Marcelo, a man in his mid-forties, returns from São Paulo to the coastal city of Recife. There, he hopes to see his son again. However, his arrival does not go unnoticed – amidst the celebrating crowds and pervasive violence, Marcelo becomes entangled in an ever-thickening web of surveillance, corruption, and distrust, from which there is no escape. What begins as a personal journey evolves into a dangerous game in the shadows of the military dictatorship.
With THE SECRET AGENT, the award-winning Brazilian director Kleber Mendonça Filho presents his latest feature film – an atmospherically dense political thriller set during the final years of the Brazilian military dictatorship.
