Amid the political turmoil of 1977 Brazil, a technology expert is forced into hiding and seeks help from the underground resistance as he tries to flee the country with his young son.

From acclaimed director Kleber Mendonça Filho, THE SECRET AGENT is a gripping, mischievous political thriller that entertains as much as it provokes. Wagner Moura stars in a Best Actor–winning performance as Marcelo, a father on the run from a mysterious past amid the vibrant cultural landscape of 1970s Brazil. Arriving in Recife during Carnival, he is swept into a dizzying world of colour, commotion, and secrets.

With four Academy Award nominations, two BAFTA nominations, and two Golden Globe wins – including Best International Feature – THE SECRET AGENT stands as a landmark achievement in the rebirth of Brazilian cinema, heralding a new chapter on the world stage.
