The political game without marked cards

A hallucinatory political allegory that uses surreal, poetic cinema to interrogate corruption, complicity, and the impossibility of moral choice in a rigged system.

Eldorado, a fictitious country in America, is sparkling with the internal struggle for political power. In the eye of this social convulsion, the jaded journalist Paulo Martins opposes two equally corrupt political candidates: a pseudopopulist and a conservative. In this context, Paulo is torn between the madness of the elite and the blind submission of the masses. But, in this complex tropical reality, nothing really is what it seems to be.
