Synopsis:
Cannes prize winner Kleber Mendonça Filho delivers a tense, genre-blending political thriller anchored by a magnetic performance from Wagner Moura. Set in 1977 during Brazil’s military dictatorship, The Secret Agent follows Marcelo, a technology expert in hiding who returns to Recife hoping to reconnect with his young son and start over.
Arriving amid the vibrant chaos of Carnival, Marcelo is drawn into a community of political exiles while an atmosphere of surveillance and quiet menace closes in around him. Told with mounting suspense and neo-noir style, The Secret Agent is a gripping portrait of paranoia, resistance, and the fragile line between memory and truth under authoritarian rule.
