What happens
The Way He Looks (Portuguese: Hoje Eu Quero Voltar Sozinho, lit. 'Today I Want to Go Back Alone') is a 2014 Brazilian coming-of-age romantic drama film written and directed by Daniel Ribeiro, based on his 2010 short film I Don't Want to Go Back Alone (Eu Não Quero Voltar Sozinho). The film stars Ghilherme Lobo, Fábio Audi, and Tess Amorim, reprising their roles from the short. The Way He Looks premiered in the Panorama section of the 64th Berlin International Film Festival in February 2014. It was released theatrically in Brazil on 10 April 2014. The film was met with positive reviews from critics and audiences; both groups praised Lobo, Audi, and Amorim's performances, Kerchove's cinematography, the soundtrack, and Ribeiro's direction. It ranked as the 5th most viewed film in the country on its first day of release. The film won two awards at the 64th Berlin International Film Festival; the FIPRESCI Prize for best feature film in the Panorama section and the Teddy Award for best LGBT-themed feature. It was selected as the Brazilian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 87th Academy Awards, but was not nominated. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
