"The Secret Agent," a Brazilian film directed by Kleber Mendonça, achieved a remarkable victory at this year's Premios Platino held at the Xcaret Stage in Riviera Maya, winning 13 awards. The film topped major categories including Best Film, Director, Screenplay, and Best Actor (Wagner Moura), showcasing its prominence under the customs duties. This success indicates that Brazilian cinema has made its mark at Ibero-America's most prestigious awards ceremony for the second consecutive year.

The slow but steady rise of "The Secret Agent" reflects a broader trend highlighting the increasing impact of Brazilian productions not only at the Platino awards but also in the regional film industry. Kleber Mendonça's directorial and cinematographic achievements have proven the film's competitiveness on international levels.

In the series category, Netflix's "The Eternaut" selection reveals the significant role digital platforms play in Latin American productions. This ambitious project of Argentine origin has stood out among many productions awarded in the series section, demonstrating the success of streaming services' investments in regional content.

Premios Platino, held annually, features the most important cinema and television productions from Ibero-America and holds a market value comparable to Hollywood awards. These awards are a vital tool for recognizing the region's creative potential and providing greater visibility on international broadcasting platforms.
