The Way He Looks

Love triangles are pretty common these days. But how about a love quadrangle? Let’s see if you can keep up…. Our protagonist, a cute blind teenager named Leo, is being coveted by his best friend and trusted female confidant, Giovana. But Leo’s not sharp enough to pick up on it. Meanwhile, Giovana is also crushing on the gorgeous new transfer student, Gabriel. Here’s the problem: Karina, a sought-after beauty with a reputation that precedes her, also has her eyes on Gabriel. Oh, and one more thing – Leo has a crush on Gabriel, too. A big one. And what’s worse, Gabriel might have one on Leo. A refreshingly smart coming-of-age story ensues as Leo tests the waters for the perfect first kiss. The story’s uneven romantic lines go through a series of twists and turns as all of the characters smooth out their jagged edges. A family-friendly rom-com filled with pitch-perfect performances, Leo’s transformation into the person he was meant to be is infectiously heartwarming. (In Portuguese with subtitles) – C.P.
