THE WAY HE LOOKS [Hoje eu quero voltar sozinho]
2014 Oscar® Selection, Brazil

Born blind, angsty São Paolo teen Leonardo is stuck in a rut. His overprotective parents smother him, and his best friend Giovana isn't much better, dutifully guiding him home from school each day. But when dreamy new kid Gabriel joins his class, things start to look up as they strike up a friendship and hope for more, much to the dismay of the jealous Giovana. A delightful, feel-good coming-of-age tale, filmmaker Daniel Ribeiro brings a John Hughes-esque touch to this poignant teen romance. Teddy Award, FIPRESCI Prize, 2014 Berlin Film Festival; Audience Award, Guadalajara Film Festival. Official Selection, 2014 Cartagena, Seattle Film Festivals.
