- TriviaMost of the young cast had no experience with performing arts when the film was shot, which gave a closer approach to reality, as happened in the film City of God (2002), where most of the actors also had no experience and were mostly slum dwellers.

Featured review
I have seen good teen movies like The Breakfast Club, 10 Things I Hate About You, Mean Girls, etc. but this one was extremely well written and acted. Not only that, the movie focused on real problems in life. There was also no "perfect popular girl" clichéd kinda of characters. Everyone had to deal with their own problems. Also, I really liked the dark, realistic lighting, which completely fit the movie. I just watched "Starstruck" the other day, which seemed so pretentious compared to this gem. I also really liked Carol and Mano's older brother, Pedro, because they were both very realistic characters with problems of their own. I won't spoil it for you, but all in all, this is a beautiful coming-of-age film. This film makes me want to see more Brazilian films in the future! P.S. I created an account just to write a review for this film.
