It's Chico Time! (2025)
Directed by Rafael Sá Carneiro, João Severo
“SMILE. THE REGIME IS WATCHING!”
Thriller, Comedy, Horror · 19m
In 1974, Chico, a beloved host of a children’s TV show at the service of a repressive authoritarian regime, is forced to make the hardest decision of his life: murder a colleague live on air, or lose the approval of his powerful father. As the cameras roll, the program unravels into a surreal theatre of obedience, repression, and madness.
