RUSSIAN ROULETTE

A basement, nine young people, and a Taurus 608.

 

What led a group of elite university students from Rio de Janeiro to participate in a game of Russian Roulette? A year after the tragedy, which ended violently and in a bizarrely mysterious way, the question remains unanswered.

​

Then, information emerges that could help solve the case led by Detective Diana Guimarães: a notebook detailing the horrifying sequence of events in the basement. Besides pursuing this new lead, Diana's biggest challenge is dealing with the mothers of the teenagers, gathered to piece together a dark and sometimes less than flattering story about their children's memory.

​

Based on notes made by Alessandro, one of the suicides, we learn the story of each of the nine young people whose lives seemed destined for a promising future. Behind the roles of diligent university students and exemplary children, a shocking plot unfolds, filled with secrets, repressed desires, and excesses of all kinds. In this ingenious thriller, where social masks gradually disappear to give way to cruel truths, appearance and reality become blurred until the very last, surprising moment.
