'A spinner of tall tales turns into a reluctant con man in this energetic tale based on the real life story of the bluffer Marcelo da Rocha...VIPs conquered all the main prizes at the 2010 Rio Film Festival' - Premiere Brazil, MoMa, New York, 2011.

Based on the true story of Marcelo da Rocha - a con artist who shocked and baffled the Brazilian media last decade. This award-winning caper film stars Wagner Moura (Col. Nascimento of the acclaimed Elite Squad ). The plot has echoes of Catch Me If You Can, but with a distinctly Latin American context and Moura's incredible performance as the charming but vulnerable Marcelo.
