The director of Bacurau and Aquarius returns to Cannes with a political thriller full of tension, set in 1970s Brazil, starring Wagner Moura (Civil War, Narcos).

In 1977, in a Brazil still torn apart by military dictatorship, the story of Marcelo comes to life. A forty-year-old teacher who, leaving behind a troubled past, arrives in the city of Recife hoping to build a new life and reconnect with his family. Upon arriving, he quickly realizes that the new city is very different from the idyllic refuge he hoped to find. A tense and gripping tale of surveillance, paranoia, and the shadows of power.
