Movies with English subtitles and a free drink afterwards, that's Internationals Cinema Breda! Set in 1977, this playful political thriller intertwines several narrative lines to build a moving reflection on the personal and collective memories of Brazil’s bloody history.

The Secret Agent follows Armando (Wagner Moura) during the Brazilian military dictatorship. Armando is a widowed university professor fleeing political persecution. He is sheltered in Recife alongside other refugees – meanwhile, in the same city, his son is being raised by his father-in-law. Elza, the leader of an underground resistance movement, realises that Armando is more compromised than he knows and offers to assist him in fleeing the country.
