Downfall
Series Overview
After an anonymous report, the former minister Álvaro Vieira Branco, under investigation for several crimes such as lobbying and misuse of powers, stays in home detention with an electronic bracelet. The report allows the criminal inspector, Gonçalo Schmidt, to finally investigate what they have suspected for so long: Álvaro Vieira Branco does not own personal nor familiar income to justify his high-quality level. Imprisoned in his luxurious mansion, Vieira Branco has to adapt his strategies to keep satisfying (mostly) the financial needs of those who surround him, while he tries to: get rid of the case, find out who is the whistle-blower and maintain his influence on the public sphere. To solve all of these, Vieira Branco counts on with his long-standing lawyer, David Rebelo Morais, current politicians and his trustworthy foreman, Zé Mário.
