Boys in Brazil (2014)Do Lado de Fora
It's time for gay pride in São Paulo - which means sun, sex, and a good helping of fabulous flamboyance on the side! But when a group of closeted gay men come face to face with homophobic abuse, instead of taking it lying down, each decide to make a solemn pact - they all have until next year's parade to come out once and for all. A humorous, vibrant, sexy film, with more than a dash of delightful South American melodramatic flare, 'Boys in Brazil' is a boldly rendered statement on what we all gain when we demand respect and acceptance. These boys ain't going to take it lying down any more! - Director:
- Alexandre Carvalho
