Astonishment at Who We Are
At the beginning of his adult life, Benjamim discovers that he was adopted as a baby. Hurt, confused, and unable to face his adoptive family, he accepts a job as an IT worker at Global, an isolated, almost mythical company in which everyone receives the same salary, from the CEO to the most anonymous employee. Global proclaims to live by a single absolute value: the truth.
However, when the Prime Minister tries to approach Henrique, the enigmatic founder, to turn Global's model into a national system, Benjamim realizes that something doesn't add up and, using his IT skills, discovers a structural lie, so deep that it sustains not only the work but the very lives of the company's employees and residents.
From then on, Benjamim becomes a lie hunter. Driven by an almost religious obsession with the truth, he resorts to sophisticated surveillance methods, infiltrates systems, exposes imposters, and unmasks secrets. The deeper he digs, the more he realizes that the absolute truth can be as destructive as the worst of lies.
Will we all be such good people?
