This film is a metaphor for who we are, for where we come from? A secret held in the abyss. To read the message - through fear and prejudice, from imitation to communion, from meditation to movement. Dance to the horizon - from points of no return. The irony of our metamorphosis - in order to grow, the seed must die.

Having no payoff is the payoff. After everything that's happened to him, he is killed offscreen and his son, now an adult, doesn't even quite remember him.
The journey is the point, basically :) The scenes with the fellow "refugees" are great, insightful glimpses into Brasil, into that 1970s Brasil in particular. They don't need to lead anywhere in particular for me to enjoy it.
That being said, I did like Bacurau and Aquarius more than The Secret Agent. But that speaks more to how incredible those films are.
