2019 | 95 minutes | Brazil

António is thrown out of the house by his father after he receives an anonymous tip that his son hasn’t been at school for a year.

Synopsis

António (Mauro Soares) is thrown out of the house by his father after he receives an anonymous tip-off that his son hasn’t been seen at school for a whole year. António seeks shelter with his former girlfriend, and meets a Brazilian woman renting a room there. He admits to her that he sent his father the tip-off note himself; the consequences gave him an excuse to return to the apartment where he had such happy memories. In the film's fresh and funny three-act structure, everyday reality and fantasy seamlessly intermingle and influence one another.

Reviews

"Mouramateus avoids pitfalls boldly, unafraid to be, of all the uncool things in this world, romantic." — Jessica Kiang, The Playlist

"The film is quiet and spoken, sometimes recited and sometimes voiced, sometimes contemplative and beautiful" — Ricardo Barbe, Caimán Cuadernos de Cine
