The Way He Looks (Hoje eu quero voltar sozinho)
Leonardo (Ghilherme Lobo), a blind teenager, spends his days with his best friend Giovana (Tess Amorim). Frustrated by school bullies and the lack of confidence and independence given to him by overprotective loved ones, he contemplates studying abroad. Leonardo’s world is quickly shaken by the arrival of new student Gabriel (Fábio Audi), challenging his dynamic with Giovana as he makes sense of newfound feelings blossoming for Gabriel. This tender gay teen romance set to music by Belle and Sebastian premiered at the 64th Berlin International Film Festival, winning the FIPRESCI Prize in the Panorama section and the Teddy Award.
