Marcelo, a technology expert in his early 40s, is on the run. Hoping to reunite with his son, he travels to Recife during Carnival but soon realizes that the city is not the safe haven he was expecting.”

Fairhope’s Monthly Movies page reinforces the event logistics with user-facing instructions: “Advance to the TICKET section to purchase tickets.” The site warns attendees that “Tickets – Please read as ticketing has changed for March” and cautions that “Spaces are limited.” Promotional copy invites audiences to “Experience the art of cinema in downtown fairhope with our monthly movie series” and notes the program presents films “designed to inspire, challenge, and spark conversation.”

The Monthly Movies series runs January through May as part of the Fairhope Film Festival between annual festivals. The 2026 schedule on the site lists exact dates: January 4 & 5, February 1 & 2, March 1 & 2, April 12 & 13, and May 3 & 4. The March block is billed on the site under the headings “Fairhope Film Festival’s Movie of the Month for March” and “#### The Secret Agent,” emphasizing the film as the month’s centerpiece.

Fairhope Film Festival promoted the screenings on Instagram under the handle fairhopefilmfest, posting: “The Secret Agent | March Monthly Movie Join us Sunday, March 1 at 2:00pm or.
