The Circle Brazil (The Circle Brasil)

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

How far would you go to be popular?

This is The Circle.

A game where you can be whoever you want to be

to get a 67,000 dollar prize.

Nine players will start the competition by moving into the same building.

They will live a few meters away from each other

without seeing or hearing one another.

They have no idea who's on the other side.

But who does?

Because they can only communicate

through a smart, voice-activated platform:

The Circle.

The key is to draw attention through a social media profile.

Imagine having to impress someone using only photo and text.

Which means, everything is allowed.

Even a fake profile.

#ImScared.

If a player isn't interesting enough, they will be blocked

and replaced by a new one.

At the end, the remaining contestant,

after being selected as most popular by the other players,

will take the grand prize.

Welcome to The Circle Brazil.

With the rules laid out,

who will be the first player to arrive at The Circle apartment?

Holy mother of God.

No way! I love it already!

It looks so hip.

My goodness.

It's my home.

Plants, vegetation... Wow.

I feel relaxed. Everything's fine. I was feeling tense.

My name is João Akel. I'm 20, from Araxá, Minas Gerais.

People have a hard time talking to me.

I speak and think too fast, nobody understands what I say.

So they only nod and smile.

I love to party.

I tried to settle down, but it's not for me.

Where I'm from, people like to gossip.

Even I gossip, whether I like it or not.

It's an exchange.

You offer information to people, and vice versa.

You always win in the end.

I'm a 20-year-old business student,

but in the game, I will be a 30-year-old dietician.

My character, the doctor, has already been tested in real life.

I dated a girl for five months pretending to be a doctor.

She has yet to find out.

One day, she wasn't feeling that well.

Everybody looked at me. She said I was a doctor.

If I pretend to be a doctor and older, I can show some credibility.

There's a huge difference between a 20-year-old and a 30-year-old.

I went way back to the 90s,

watched the movies they watched back then, Titanic...

I love that movie.

So my character is a pro in this already.

It'll be a big hit in Brazil.

Let me take a look in here.

Very homey. Wine glasses.

I will sip some delicious wine.

I broke it already.

One player breaks wine glasses.

Will the next one break the Internet?

Oh, my God!

This is fabulous!

The Circle Brazil!

This is my chance to shine, honey.

My name is Dumaresq, I'm 24 years old and I'm an artist.

I'm from Natal, Rio Grande do Norte. I'm not discreet at all.

Look at this face,

at these eyes, at this outfit.

I'm honest. That's the way I am.

Do you want to talk to me? Do it. Otherwise, scram.

If I'm a bother, if I make people talk, wonderful.

I love to expose myself on social media.

You'll see me eating, pooping, showering, kissing.

I have a lot of nudes out there.

Men ask me for nudes, I go, "Here, take all of them."

We get to know people through intimacy.

I love to talk about poop and B.O.

I will be myself in The Circle,

but a bit more dramatic.

I'll get into a lot of fights because I'm nosy and love to argue.

I'll definitely be the spice in this game.

When I notice people chatting, I will throw in some spice.

Fame, money, and social media. I'm in my habitat.

Look at this. My God.

I'm in my element.

Totally!

Your outfit even matches the sofa because, here in The Circle,

all players deserve a spot that suits them.

Girl!

This is gorgeous!

I am my butt, my butt is me.

My name is Marina. I'm 25, from Rio de Janeiro.

I live in Méier. It can't get any better.

I just got certified. I'm a flight attendant now.

Because I love to fly, that's it.

I'll be an alter ego, but I'll use my personality.

I love to sing in the shower since I was little,

so I'll be an amateur singer.

I had this idea because I believe music brings people together.

What's the catch? The catch is...

I don't know how to sing, but I sing.

Wanna hear me sing? No can do.

It'll work out in the end.

I'll flirt with anyone if necessary.

Men, women.

An uncle. A grandpa. A granny.

Anyway...

There's money on the line, let's do this.

Do you want me to feed your ego? Leave it to me.

But bring some milk.

I rarely apologize, like...

"I've already... I've already apologized for that."

Get it? Like, "It was the first thing I did."

The more you envy me,

the bigger my butt gets.

Marina, hold your horses.

People are still arriving.

Hey there! What's up?

I'm Julia.

Sometimes people judge me because my style is different.

But I am joining The Circle

to prove that looks can be deceiving.

Because...

Julia is...

this beast right here.

My name is Rob. I'm 34 years old.

I'm a cutler from Sorocaba, São Paulo.

People perceive me as this savage guy, kind of a brute.

They see a wild bear from the outside,

then they realize I'm a Care Bear on the inside.

I know the real Julia.

She's a cutler too.

In terms of personality, Julia will be like me.

But I want her to be bisexual and single, while I'm straight and married.

I can hardly see a disadvantage in being a woman in the show.

I was raised by women. My mom is my biggest idol.

To me, women are badass.

I like when people think I'm impolite, kind of aggressive.

I can show that you can't judge a book by its cover.

If you're competing against me, be careful.

I'm compelling, charismatic, and I'll win you over.

Wow. Incredible, man.

I even want to sleep now.

Shit! Son of a bitch!

I screwed up.

I hope I didn't break the bed.

Yeah, that was heavy.

Let's hope the next player takes it easy.

How beautiful! Wow.

My God, this place is awesome.

Do I wait for an "Action" or may I start already?

My name is Lorayne. I'm 22 years old.

I'm from Realeza, Paraná,

a very small town.

I like to move, I'm hyperactive.

It's sheer torture not to spin on this stool.

I'll miss my cellphone.

In social media stories, we see,

"My breakfast was perfect today.

My maid cooked omelet and cranberry."

F... you!

I don't wanna be that kind of girl.

Lo is going single to The Circle.

No...

If it's a pretty girl, I go...

But women are not my only option.

I'm into men too.

#StayWild.

I'm not going to make a sign because only old people do this.

I know I'm beautiful. I'm not doing this for you, but for me.

So yeah, I'm hot.

I don't wanna lie about anything.

I wanna be exactly who I am out there.

This way, I have a better chance of winning.

Circle? Are you there?

Can you hear me?

I don't know how to interact.

- Is there a button? - Circle.

Activate.

- Circle? - What's up, Circle? Where are you at?

Can it see me?

Is there a remote control for it in this box? Can I open it?

There isn't one.

"Welcome to The Circle."

Hey, girl, thanks! I have to start getting into...

character.

- "This is a voice-activated..." - "...system."

"Set up your profile."

Wow, this is a very stressful moment.

Time for a brigadeiro.

"Select an image from your gallery to become your first profile picture."

How do I open my gallery?

Open my gallery, Circle.

It worked.

Each player has a photo gallery.

The hardest part is selecting one to make a good first impression.
