The Boy
O Garoto

Haunted by the fear of becoming a "one-hit-wonder author," João grows increasingly anguished over his inability to produce a follow-up to his acclaimed debut novel.

In this pursuit, he forms an unlikely friendship with Breno, a free-spirited motorcyclist whose lifestyle couldn’t more different from João’s own. Their bond may just hold the key to unlocking the inspiration João needs to finally write his second book—and redefine his legacy.
