Set in Brazil 1977, Wagner Moura portrays Marcelo, a former academic who is forced into a life of hiding as the military dictatorship turns everyday citizens into targets. His journey is driven by the hope of seeing his young son again, even as he moves through a landscape shaped by fear, corruption, and the quiet acts of resistance that help people survive. Director Kleber Mendonça Filho creates a story filled with tension and unexpected humor, inviting the audience to reflect on how individuals navigate oppressive systems. Moura delivers a performance that feels intimate and grounded, showing us a man who carries both vulnerability and determination while history presses in on all sides. The film’s layered storytelling and emotional power earned it critical acclaim, including recognition at Cannes and an Oscar nomination. The Secret Agent stands out as a vivid portrait of a country in turmoil and of the people who try to hold on to their humanity within it.

The film is in Portugese with English subtitles.
