I Fratelli 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.
