The Secret Agent

Brazil, 1977. Marcelo leaves the big city for his childhood town to hide from the authorities pursuing him and to reunite with his son. There, living under a false name within a community of fellow outcasts, he tries to remain under the radar until the corrupt regime collapses. But he soon discovers that the circle of danger is tightening around him. Director Kleber Mendonça Filho (Aquarius, Neighboring Sounds) returns with an expansive political thriller that screened in the official competition at the Cannes Film Festival, where it won both the Best Director Award and the Best Actor Award.
