In Brazil in 1977, Marcelo, a technology expert in his early 40s flees from a mysterious past and returns to his hometown of Recife during Carnival, in search of peace and hoping to be re-united with his son. He soon realizes that the city is far from being the refuge he seeks.

Winner of Best Director and Best Actor in Cannes and nominated for 4 Oscars including Wagner Moura for best actor.

For all its showmanship, exquisite period details and flashy Tarantino-style denouement, Filho’s film never loses its profound emotional ache, or the central idea — that the departing dictatorship left behind an entire population in a state of trauma. Kevin Maher – The Times
