In August 1954, Brazil faces a political crisis. This miniseries imagines a crime story happening concurrently with the real events. The real events derive from the attempt on the life of opposition journalist Carlos Lacerda. The fictitious crime is the murder of a businessman during a homosexual encounter.
A second viewing of this miniseries has proven satisfactory, although my final appraisal is a bit less enthusiastic than my earliear one. Some imperfections are apparent, and the mise-en-scene at times seems a little static or unimaginative. Also, I do not know what to make of the fact that the protagonist takes such a long time to see who the obvious author of the crime he is investigating is.
