Set in 1977 Brazil during a tense military dictatorship, The Secret Agent follows Marcelo, a quiet and thoughtful man who arrives in the coastal city of Recife in a bright yellow Volkswagen Beetle. He seems ordinary at first, just another traveller stopping at a dusty gas station, but something about him feels hidden. Slowly we realise that Marcelo is living under another identity. A former researcher and widower, he is a man pursued by danger, haunted by memories, and quietly searching for something lost, perhaps truth, perhaps family, perhaps himself.
