I'm not normally into romantic / love movies but I'm so glad I made an exception for this one.The characters are real and the acting is great, especially from Ghilherme Lobo, who is neither blind nor gay.Whilst it may not be ground breaking it is a lighthearted, fun, and very sweet coming of age story. Some of the characters may fit into the normal teen stereotypes but that's real life, show me a movie that doesn't include some stereotypical characters.It really is a gem in a world full of blockbusters, special effects and violence and it will leave you feeling warm and happy.Truly fantastic film!

The pure simplicity of the creative filmmaking. We almost forgot that the main staple of a good movie is a story to tell. It all somehow got gradually replaced with car chases and explosions and stunning lack of anything to say, that doesn't prevent so-called "directors" from continuing to torture us with tons of decomposing garbage. And there comes this small, low budget gem of a movie. Teenagers, fight for independence, stirrings of forbidden love and all done with exceptional taste without the need to drown us in syrupy clichés. The innocence of youth, that breathtaking time of endless possibilities, brought to us with such cautious and tender hand. Such a refreshing movie, just in time for the Holiday season.

This film is the film I wish a 16 year old me had seen. The movie is a love story full of hope and romance. The direction is superb! You will find yourself riding the roller coaster of emotions. The innocence and rawness of the film makes you remember your first kiss and first time falling in love. Ghilherme Lobo's emotions as Leonardo showcases his skill. He is a really good actor. Daniel Ribeiro has made one of the best young love stories on film that I have ever seen. I am glad I ran across this film. I think it is universal in emotion and feeling. Even made me check out the short film that Daniel Ribeiro originally made. It is pretty good as well.

It's a nice movie for teenagers, but it is packed with clichés. The first warning sign for me was that Gabriel only listened classic music and then you have "Spiegel im Spiegel". I don't know if that song is more over-used than "Breathe me" by Sia, but it certainly feels like it. Then we have the guys at school. Come on! We've seen them so many times before and nowadays of course youth can be cruel but with Gabriel it wouldn't be as explicit as it is here to mark them as "the bad guys". It would make more sense if it were the microagressions that made him feel weird and out of place, after all he wants to be treated like everybody else and fly alone. I didn't suffer with the movie but I don't think there was enough material for it to be more than a short film.
