Starring Wagner Moura who is up for Best Actor for his role as Marcelo/Armando/adult Fernando
Drawing parallels between the Military Dictatorship of the 1970s and Bolsonaro’s Brazil where for a while, media was once again censored a bit and artists like Wagner Moura had their work censored.
And focusing on the preservation of memory, with Kleber Filho looking back on his childhood in Recife in the 1970s, where Marcelo/Armando is hiding from two hit men hired by the Electrobras Executive Director who has hired him after becoming convinced he has “communist sympathies”
Also starring Maria Fernanda Candido, Alice Carvalho, Luciano Chirolli, Carlo Francisco, Gabriel Leone, and Udo Kier in his final role!!
