One of the most controversial gay-themed films since Cruising, this Brazilian romantic drama centres on the intimate bond between two men – who just happen to be brothers.

Fastforward several years with the now strikingly handsome, bronzed young men taking their childhood intensity into a torrid sexual relationship. But can their love survive society’s discerning gaze?
