Three brothers who started from nothing, with a name that feels like an omen: Segreto. From the poverty of late 19th-century Italy to the fever-drenched nights of Rio de Janeiro, this is the story of Pasquale, Gaetano, and Alfonso Segreto—emigrants, petty criminals, kings of the Carioca night, and Brazil’s first filmmakers. Or so the story goes. A film caught between fact and fable, memory and myth—where shadows whisper the past and shape it as they please. A film about the birth of cinema that unfolds like a fairy tale. Or maybe just a well-told lie.
