This is real-life
Charlie’s Angels. Detective Bechara Jahlk is the
most famous private eye in Brazil, specialising in
'corporate crime' and employing a team of young
female agents. We follow the case of an
import-export entrepreneur who suspects a link
between his company and drug-trafficking in Rio's
harbour and fears that his son Luiz is involved. At
26 and loaded with cash, Luiz is a junior executive
in his father's business and lives life in Rio's
fast lane. Discretion is paramount, so Jahlk sends
in his 'angels' Natasha, Julia and Tania, armed with
sophisticated surveillance equipment, to infiltrate
Luiz's social network and uncover any criminal
activity. The agents quickly establish evidence of
Luiz's drug use. In recorded conversations, some
names pop up, giving the agents more leads to follow
- Marcelo the drug courier, Claudio the drug dealer,
former drug dealer-turned-agent Ze Carlos,
right-wing extremist group the Integralistas and
former torturer and policeman JC. The investigation
takes the agents into the favelas, undercover in
Rio's port, to nightclubs, restaurants, motels and
Sao Paulo and back, giving insights into the case,
Luiz's life and contemporary Brazilian society. |
