Wagner Moura plays a man in 1977 Brazil, fleeing the oppressive military dictatorship and his own potential murder threats. He travels to his hometown, where he meets other dissidents and reunites with his son. Meanwhile, corrupt cops and hired killers are disposing of bodies and more. Then there are flash forwards, when two women listen to tapes that might help explain his past. This fragmented narrative rambles with glimpses of the culture and other things that extend the plot. They also make watching it more challenging (or some might say tedious). At 2:40, there’s an interesting story in the film, but the narrative focus is often is sidetracked by excess information and cultural flavor.
