- Summary:
- Coming-of-age as rude awakening: one high school senior's dawning sexuality is shadowed by the discovery of his upper-class white family's looming financial ruin. Polished and penetrating, CASA GRANDE renders a sharp social canvas of contemporary Brazil through the eyes of young Jean, who struggles with newfound knowledge of his racial and class privilege as he sweetly courts a mixed-race girl from a lower-ranked school than his, and sows his oats with the family's maid. Winner of Best Film at the **Rio de Janeiro International Film Festival**. Nominated for a Tiger Award at the **International Film Festival Rotterdam**. "*Precariously balanced social structures maintaining class, race and expectations come crashing down in Casa grande, Fellipe Barbosa's well-made feature debut.*" - Jay Weissberg, ***Variety***
