The Senator
Alternative title: O Senador

Directed by Mauro Carvalho

Renan is young, attractive, and involved in a secret affair with a powerful, closeted right-wing senator. His life takes a turn when he falls for Victor, a journalist set on revealing the senator's double life.
The Senator is a low-budget political drama about power, secrecy and the collision between public ambition and private sexuality. Mauro Carvalho works modestly, but the premise gives the film a clear tension between image and authenticity.
