A technology researcher who suddenly finds himself an unwitting target in the heart of the dictatorship’s political maelstrom\, Marcelo is a man on the run from mercenary killers\, from ghosts of the past and from the ruthless\, mischievously militant spirit of Brazil in 1977. \nIn the midst of these mounting threats\, Marcelo\, with the help of a mysterious woman named Elza and her compatriots in the country’s growing underground resistance\, remains primarily focused on escaping Brazil with his young son. \n**description from website
