This movie moves itself in a difficult subject such as the teenagers' awakening for sexuality and which here involves even an incest which goes on being socially and according to the morals in force, a forbidden love. It succeeds however in presenting a story in which authenticity combines with a certain poetry. We have before us a family more or less dissolved such as it is commonplace in our current times. Divorced parents and two teenager children (Sofia and Guilherme) in the usual ping-pong between father and mother although there is no animosity between the latter. There is also a more or less bohemian grandmother who amuses herself playing poker with friends. In this uncertain and loose atmosphere that forbidden love between brother and sister springs up and after a few encounters and missings ends up in a climax which has the above mentioned authenticity and poetry and even some beauty although realistic in sexual terms. This is all told through suggestive images, short and simple dialogues and a serene but efficacious cut. The acting is reasonably good too. Not a masterpiece but just a good movie anyway
