THE PREMISE
Marcelo (Wagner Moura) is a university professor and father fleeing a mysterious past who travels from São Paulo to the seaside city of Recife during Carnival in hopes of reuniting with his son. Marcelo finds himself immersed in a vibrant world filled with color, noise, and unforgettable characters. However, he quickly realizes that even in this new refuge, watchful neighbors are tailing and spying on him. As the city’s sights and sounds intensify, so too does the sense that Recife’s intricate web of secrets – and the tentacles of corruption reaching toward him – may leave him with no escape.
The Secret Agent will hit the home entertainment formats on September 21st, courtesy of MUBI.
