THE SEEKER

Isabela, who grew up in a very privileged family, returns home after a long period of absence, in an attempt to reconnect with her family. She brings home with her a new boyfriend, Giovani, who is a free spirited young man, contrasting drastically with the customs of her family. What she didn’t expect to find back home is her inner circle in turmoil, with her father being involved on a large corruption scandal.

Curiosity: this film is set against a backdrop of several politicians being prosecuted in Brazil during an extremely turbulent period since the early 2010’s, still taking place until today.
