A satirical spy comedy that gleefully mocks 1960s espionage tropes and cultural stereotypes through the bumbling misadventures of an oblivious secret agent in Rio.

In 1967, OSS 117 is sent to Brazil in order to retrieve a microfilm list of French Nazi sympathizers, only to once again unknowingly set foot into a bigger international intrigue.
