A political thriller set in the 1970s

Set in 1977, the film follows Marcelo (Wagner Moura), a technology specialist trying to leave behind a dark past as he returns to Recife in search of peace. However, the city reveals itself to be a territory of political tension and secrets.

Before reaching Brazilian screens, "The Secret Agent" gained prominence at major festivals around the world. The feature opened the 34th Biarritz Amérique Latine Festival in France, from September 20 to 26, after its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, where it received four awards: Best Direction (Kleber Mendonça Filho), Best Actor (Wagner Moura), as well as the FIPRESCI Prize (International Federation of Film Critics) and the “Art et Essai” Prize awarded by AFCAE (French Association of Art and Essay Cinema).

In Latin America, the feature won awards at the 29th Lima Film Festival - PUCP, winning the trophies for Best Film from the Official Jury and Best Film by the International Critics.
