Alemão

Doca, Danillo, Carlinhos, Branco, and Samuel work undercover inside the favela's dangerous landscape, using a pizzeria as their base of operations. They gather intelligence on the drug trade while trying to stay hidden from Playboy's enforcers. The operation is tense from the start as they navigate constant threats and shifting loyalties.

The government threatens to raid the complex with heavy military support, escalating the pressure on the undercover team. Playboy retaliates by cutting off all communications to isolate the officers and disrupt their coordination. The slums brace for an abrupt and violent confrontation.

With no contact to contact their boss, the five officers retreat to the basement of Doca's pizzeria, turning it into a temporary operations hub. They must monitor the situation remotely and rely on limited information while the raid threat grows. The basement becomes a tense fortress under constant risk.

Playboy's men close in on informants, and Pixixo is nearly killed during interrogations. In the struggle, he drops a briefcase that contains details on all infiltrated officers, exposing their identities to the criminals. The breach amplifies the danger facing the entire operation.

All five undercover policemen manage to converge at the pizzeria, reaffirming their bond and readiness to continue their mission despite the danger. Carlinhos arrives last, triggering distrust from Branco who blames him for the delay and ultimately handcuffs him. The atmosphere is loaded with suspicion and shifting loyalties.

It is revealed that Carlinhos is romantically involved with Leticia, Senegal’s sister. This complicates loyalties as Branco uses the personal connection to influence Carlinhos and the rescue plans. The personal and professional lines blur under pressure.

Mariana enters the pizzeria to collect her money and is captured by Branco in the basement. He forbids her from leaving, fearing she could reveal their location, especially since her son’s father is Playboy. Her plight adds a human stake to the dangerous standoff.

The government consolidates military forces for an imminent raid, heightening the sense of urgency on the ground. Valadares grows increasingly frustrated at not being able to contact his officers or his son. The clock ticks as danger closes in.

Senegal orchestrates a trap by using his sister as bait, placing her in a car and broadcasting threats to kill her with a loudspeaker. The tactic is aimed at drawing Carlinhos out and escalating the conflict around the pizzeria. The menacing ruse heightens the stakes for everyone involved.

Branco finally grants Carlinhos permission to go rescue Leticia, recognizing the deteriorating situation and the need to act quickly. The rescue mission becomes a hinge point as the surrounding enemies prepare to strike. Tension peaks as Carlinhos moves into the danger zone.

After hearing Mariana's remark about police abandoning partners, Branco shifts strategy. He informs Senegal that they have Mariana and hints that she could be spared if the others are allowed to go, turning the standoff into a hostage negotiation. The plan changes the dynamics of who is valued and who is sacrificed.

Senegal leads a barrage of gunmen into the pizzeria, triggering a brutal firefight. The attack wipes out the entire police team except Leticia and Mariana, who survive the chaos with the help ofstanders or sheer luck. The scene is chaotic and devastating for all involved.

Pixixo finds Mariana and places her on the phone with Valadares, who learns that none of the officers survived. He collapses in grief, overwhelmed by the loss of his son and the failure of the mission. The call binds the personal tragedy to the broader political crisis.

The film ends with scenes and facts about the 2010 Complexo do Alemão raid, followed by images of the 2013 protests in Brazil. The epilogue places the fictional events within real-world social and political upheavals, underscoring the ongoing tension between crime, policing, and public dissent.
