Three young doctors are sent to a remote village in Pantanal to vaccinate residents against a new mutation of the Zika virus.

They have delivered a uniquely Brazilian take on the show, and skillfully developed rich characters and specificity of the strange and often frightening world in which the show takes place , said Chris Sanagustin, Director of International Originals at Netflix.

Brazil is rich in mythologies and spiritual beliefs and we are very excited about this opportunity to show the world more of this side of our culture and even the singularities of the Pantanal region through Netflix, says Raphael Draccon.

The One is a supernatural thriller, a genre still little explored in our cinematography, but popular among Brazilians and a great fit for Netflix audiences , adds Carolina Munh z.
