DramaThriller

Eldorado, a fictitious country in America, is sparkling with the internal struggle for political power. In the eye of this social convulsion, the jaded journalist Paulo Martins opposes two equally corrupt political candidates: a pseudopopulist and a conservative. In this context, Paulo is torn between the madness of the elite and the blind submission of the masses. But, in this complex tropical reality, nothing really is what it seems to be.

VIBE

A suffocating political thriller that feels like a fever dream. Its raw, urgent style immerses you in a world of corruption and apathy, leaving you questioning everything. It’s a stark, unflinching look at power and the masses.
