About Federal
Brasília. Vital is a Brazilian federal police deputy who leads a special investigation group that aims to capture the international drug trafficker Beque Batista. Three other officers make up the group: Dani, Rock and Lua. In parallel, Vital need to take care of Leila, his pregnant wife, and does everything so she does not participate in the violent world in which he lives.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 2010.
