The short film genre was always an interesting one for gay-themed short films. The appearance of the issue here feels proportionally much much higher than in full feature films. I've seen many of these short films and there were many bad ones, but this one is quite good. I don't speak a single word Portuguese and occasionally one or two things may have gotten lost in translation to the English subtitles, but it didn't hurt the overall experience in the slightest.
Summary in short: Girl and blind boy are best friends. Girl may feel a bit more. New boy comes to class and becomes friends with both. Blind boy falls in love with new boy. New boy seems to reciprocate the feelings. My favorite scene was when Leo grabbed Gabriel's arm although I felt a bit sorry for Giovana becoming the third wheel. By then, everybody really should have seen what's going on.
The actors here don't really appear in anything else, but finally there is good news for fans of the short film. After several years of fund-raising, it looks like the cast will come back together reprising their roles for a feature film in 2014.
