After 20 years missing, João Grilo returns to Taperoá to join his old friend Chicó and, after his story of resurrection spreads, he is disputed as an electoral candidate by the two most powerful politicians in the city.
Directed by Flávia Lacerda, Guel Arraes, The Rogue's Trial leans on a strong ensemble — Matheus Nachtergaele, Selton Mello, Taís Araújo — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2024.
