Once there was Brasilia
Adirley QueirósFiction / HD / 99’ / 2017
In 1959, the intergalactic agent WA4 is arrested for making an illegal allotment and launched into space. He receives a mission: to come to the Earth and kill the president, Juscelino Kubitschek, in the day of inauguration of Brasília. His ship is lost in time and lands in 2016 in Ceilândia. This is a version told by Marquim do Tropa, actor and abductee. Only Andreia, a post-war queen, helps a lot of the army to kill the monsters that inhabit the National Congress today.
