The Way He Looks

Set to the music of Belle and Sebastian, Daniel Ribeiro's coming-of-age tale THE WAY HE LOOKS is a fun and tender story about friendship and the complications of young love. Leo is a blind teenager who’s fed up with his overprotective mother and the bullies at school. Looking to assert his independence, he decides to study abroad, to the dismay of his best friend, Giovana. When Gabriel, the new kid in town, teams with Leo on a school project, new feelings blossom in him that make him reconsider his plans. Meanwhile, Giovana grows jealous of this new-found companionship as tensions mount between her and Leo.

Winner of the Teddy Award for Best Narrative Feature at this year's Berlin International Film Festival and Audience Winner at both Frameline and Outfest, THE WAY HE LOOKS is based upon the award-winning short film “I Don’t Want To Go Back Alone” and features the same principal cast.
