In search of refuge and peace, a technology expert returns to Recife, Brazil, his hometown, after fleeing a mysterious past. Only, peace and refuge aren’t quite what he finds in the city.

Set in 1977 and starring Wagner Moura, and directed by Kleber Mendonça Filho, additional key cast for The Secret Agent includes Maria Fernanda Cândido and Gabriel Leone.

I love the look and feel of this trailer. It reminds me of The Penguin Lessons (2024), which is also set in South America, in the mid-to-late 1970s. I want to experience something like the vibe of that again.

Are you also interested in ‘travelling’ to Recife, Brazil, for just two hours and thirty-eight minutes?

Alice Carvalho, Udo Kier, Isabél Zuaa and Hermila Guedes also star.

The Secret Agent Release Dates: November 26th, 2025 (US)…
