Hi everyone, this is a Historical Drama / Political Thriller. If History is a nightmare from which I’ve been trying to awake, I hope each family or isolated person can gain insight from Sparta, whether by facing or avoiding threats, crimes, and censorship. This is a cry for help from a country so very hard to talk about or study. It’s very difficult for me, and I notice the extent to which I have a lot to learn in another language. I believe I’m doing my best to tell a good story.
Logline:
In 1922, Rio de Janeiro, a group of young army officers launches a desperate uprising against a corrupt republic, triggering a chain of betrayals, violence, and heroism that will culminate in one of the most legendary last stands in Brazilian history.
