Remarkable landing
Very unlikely to be 'fake'.
The equipment required to do that costs a fortune, not to mention the time involved.
One of the comments claims that the pilot had his licence pulled. Is that true ?
Who knows

That is no safe way to fly. Hate those show off idiots.
Having seen two of those similar pilot characters finally killing themselves (and other occupants) I‘d say take away their licence ASAP.

But a good party trick ( if you don’t mess it up !) . He slightly loses it on the second rev but gets it together for a perfect touch down . Without a passenger and at an air show I would have said that was quite impressive skills . Maybe he learned from Dennis !!

Remarkable Landing ??
Yes I agree a possible doctored film , no rotor downwash over water ,
look here how it should be for a R44 ;
just search :

This video has been around a while, and those of us who monitor helicopter online sites have already seen and commented on it. With that in mind, we can joke that this seems to be the "standard" Brazilian approach profile. Climbing decel to a hover over a specific spot with a 720 finish? Pretty good execution of a tricky maneuver! As Nigelh notes above, he did kind of goof it up on the second rotation at the end, but he did recover nicely for a good set-down. Incautious? Yep. Risky? Heck yeah! Would you do it? Oh, you'd probably say, "No way in hell!" And maybe you mean it. But helicopters are capable of some seriously funky, cold maneuvers, and some young, brazen, bold pilots will try them.

il forum para la lingua itialiano e qui.
Mi dispiace, non parlo itialiano no molto bene.
I moved your other post there, please discuss with our colleagues on that forum.
Aircraft Banned
A quick research on the Brazilian Civilian Aviation Autority site reveals that the aircraft has been banned (while its annual inspection dates from october).
