[indistinct shouting]
[girl] Today's nerds will be tomorrow's millionaires.
I know that it was you!
[girl] The ugly ones will become attractive.
Let go!
[girl] The pretty girls will become slobs…
Calm down!
[girl] …and the handsome guys will become fat and bald.
-The fact of the matter is… -[screaming]
…in the future, no one's gonna care if you were popular in school or not.
[glass shatters]
-[indistinct chattering] -[boy laughs]
[girl] Too bad I haven't made it to the future yet.
[girl 2] Come on, Teanira, tell them! Admit it, it was you!
-What can I say, I didn't do anything! -This is a very serious accusation.
It means you could be expelled, do you understand?
Come on, please, I have nothing to do with this.
[girl 2] Of course you do! Stop being so fake, Tetê.
Conceição, Teanira here really envies me!
I mean, she's an outcast, she's unpopular and crazy!
-[Tetê] Outcast, maybe. -[sighs]
[Tetê] Unpopular too. But crazy, that's a little too much, all right?
Maybe I'm a little dramatic.
But let's rewind a little, so you can see it for yourself.
I was born and raised in Barra da Tijuca. That's a neighborhood in Rio
famous for its malls, gated communities, and beaches.
But do I look like someone who goes to the beach?
Do you know that one girl in your class whose voice you've never heard?
That's me.
That doesn't mean I was completely invisible though.
Teanira de Oliveira.
-[Tetê] Yes, you heard it right. -[class laughing]
-[Tetê] My name is Teanira. -Nine point six.
[Tetê] Could a person ever be happy with a name like that?
Gustavo Sampaio, five point nine.
[upbeat music playing]
[Tetê] But one day, out of nowhere,
Gustavo Sampaio came to talk to me.
-Hey, you. [laughs] -[chuckles] Hi, Gustavo.
[Tetê] No one in that school had ever talked to me before.
People are just jealous of you, Tetê.
You always get good grades, and you're always the teacher's favorite.
-Mmm. -[giggles] Nah!
[Tetê] Do you have any idea what it's like
to receive a compliment from Gustavo Sampaio?
Hey, what's going on? How's everybody doing?
[Tetê] He's perfect!
You know what I mean? Of course you do.
[Tetê] Gustavo?
[Tetê] From that day forward, we became a pretty cool duo.
Okay, so, you got the right thinking here, but you just applied it wrong.
[Tetê] I felt I was finally gonna have a normal social life.
Gustavo Sampaio,
eight point five.
[Tetê] I was a great teacher. His grades improved,
and he was so thankful.
[laughs]
[Tetê] But I fell in love with him.
And my crazy mind kept telling me he was into me as well.
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Oh boy, oh boy. [chuckles awkwardly]
Uh, sorry, I think…
I think maybe you got the wrong idea.
[chuckles] I, um, just needed to improve my grades,
or else my parents wouldn't take me to Orlando.
[awkward music playing]
Oh… Uh, sorry.
-[schoolmates laughing in the background] -No, it's okay.
[schoolmates chattering and laughing]
[Tetê] It was so much better when I was just an outcast.
In the meantime, things were even worse back home.
My dad lost his job and had to sell the apartment.
We moved from Barra to my grandparents' place in Copacabana.
["Coisa da Geração" by Lagum playing]
I don't wanna do therapy, Grandma.
But they told me about this wonderful psychologist
who's also a psychiatrist.
A psychiatrist? Really, is that necessary?
Grandma's just worried about you, sweetie,
because you don't ever leave the house, you don't have friends, you don't laugh.
Honey, just because you have a crooked tooth
doesn't mean you can't laugh.
You can laugh with your eyes. Like this.
Mm?
[laughs] And also you don't brush your hair, my love.
You only read sad books and listen to sad music all the time.
Yeah, you don't do sports, you never go out and get any sun,
you don't take care of yourself, sweetie. What about your pits?
What's wrong with my armpits?
They're ugly. It's too much hair there. It's like Chewbacca's.
You're just weird, my love. You don't even eat chocolate.
Who in the world doesn't like to eat chocolate?
[Tetê] Sometimes I wonder if family bullying is a thing.
And then there's, um…
What is it, Grandma?
[sighs] I can't deal with your mustache.
[Tetê] Then I look at my family and I think, "It is a thing."
That's all nonsense.
Come on, boys don't care about this whole mustache thing.
My sweet granddaughter, if you want to grow out your mustache,
do it. Grow it out. [laughs]
Uh, Pa, do you think I'm crazy too?
Of course not, sweetie. What kind of question is that?
You're sad like this because you don't have a boyfriend.
Come on, look at your mom.
[laughing] Your mom was very ugly as a girl, weren't you?
She was way worse than you. But she scored a lot of guys.
Yeah right, I was worse than Tetê? Not even close. [chuckles]
-Mom, that was really so rude of you. -[Grandpa] Hold on a second.
Look, Tetê, you don't have to have a boyfriend
because all the girls your age have boyfriends.
-[Dad] Of course not. -[Grandpa] Don't worry about it, relax.
Soon enough, you'll find a boy that will like you
just the way you are.
You won't be rejected for the rest of your life, no way.
Guys, Joaquim.
-Mmm. -That kid who lives here in the building.
He always liked you so much.
-That tall, really skinny one? -Right.
Why don't you give him a chance, my love, because he's great.
-He's 12 years old. I'm 15. -[Mom] What does that have--
Like your grandpa said, he's tall, so he can easily pass for 15. [kisses]
-And he's beautiful, very beautiful. -He's polite.
-Yeah. -[Grandpa] Polite.
It's decided. We're going to his next birthday party.
-[Mom] Great idea! Let's do that. -[sighs] I have to go.
Sweetie, don't worry, okay?
You'll do great in your new school, you'll see.
-Oh, it's gonna be hotsy-totsy. -It's gonna be what?
Hotsy-totsy, like, chill. What's that term? It's, uh, sailing, uh…
Gravy! Yeah, teenagers say, like, "gravy."
Mom, what kind of teenagers have you been talking to?
Tetê, listen to me. Death Pits Tetê, no more.
-[shushes] Mother… -[laughing] She's dead!
-Mom… -I can't believe you told her about that.
Well, she told me and everyone else at the condo meeting.
You told everybody about that nickname at the meeting? But why?
Because I love you, my sweet little girl,
and because I want the other teenagers here to welcome you with open arms.
You want people to welcome me out of pity?
-Exactly, my love. -It's good just to get things started.
Yeah, when they feel pity, people are generous. They help you.
-[Mom] Yeah. -Pity is a good thing.
-[Grandma] Good thing. -[Mom] I think so.
-[sighs] Bye, guys. Thanks for the help. -Good luck.
-Bye, sweetie. I love you. Mwah. -[Dad] Take care, sweetheart.
-Helena. -What?
If you keep saying things like that, we are gonna be--
I tell you things and you spread them around.
[elevator swishing]
[Tetê] Why is it so hard for me to be a normal person who has friends?
[breathes heavily]
[Tetê] When I get nervous, I sweat. A lot.
So they gave me this horrible nickname,
"Death Pits Tetê."
And, mind you, I used to shower almost almost every day.
Imagine being the new student in the middle of the year.
The only new student. The outcast.
Just thinking about it makes me sweat.
But not today. I can't show up with two pizzas under my armpits.
-[boy] Whoa! -[Tetê] I'm sorry! My bad!
Trying to get nudes, but live! Smart girl, huh?
[exhales]
[Tetê] Oh my God!
[exhales, sighs]
[girl] You know what I mean? That's like--
[bell rings]
-Well, okay, then. -Come on.
[classmates chattering]
-Where'd you go? -To Cabo Frio.
-Oh, okay. That's cool. -Did you travel?
[girl laughing] Seriously. I'm being serious right now.
[indistinct chattering and laughing]
-Oh, hey. -[Tetê] Oh no.
-Even the class nerd is gonna ignore me? -Huh?
-[Tetê] For real? -Were you talking to me?
-I was. I said "hi." -Hi, I'm Davi. Delighted to meet you.
Nice to meet you. Tetê. You talk funny. "Delighted to meet you."
[laughs] I live with my grandparents, and they talk like that.
And so, I ended up the same way.
I live with my grandparents, too. And my mom and my pa.
My brother used to live with us, but he went to college in Juíz de Fora.
So it's just me and my grandparents.
-What about your parents? -They died.
Oh m-m-my God. I'm so sorry.
Don't worry, it's okay. I was little.
So in my mind my grandparents are my parents.
[chuckles] You know? And they're my friends too.
[upbeat music playing]
[Davi] We go see plays, we walk by the beach,
we play checkers in the city square. To be honest, I love it.
-So cute. -[chuckles]
[Tetê] Oh my God! Don't fall in love, Tetê.

[slowly] Don't fall in love.
[romantic music playing]
[Tetê] Brazil, North Pole, China!
That Greek god is coming to talk to me.
I have no idea what to say.
Of course I don't. No one ever talks to me.
Don't say anything to me, man. Oh, actually, please do, love of my life.
Hey, hi there.
-[sputtering] Hi there. -How are you, Erick? Everything good?
Hey. Dude, did you do the homework?
Could I copy it real quick?
[Tetê] Erick, handsome Erick.
[happy music playing]
[Tetê] You're an improved Rudy Pankow.
You can go cry, Jacob Elordi.

-I surfed all day long. -[Davi laughs]

[Erick speaking indistinctly]
[gasps]
-[Davi] Tetê. [echoing] -[panting]
[Davi] Tetê!
-[mellow music playing] -This is Erick.
[chuckles]
[sighs]
Hey there, love of my life.
-What? -[record scratch]
[Tetê] Of course I didn't say that.
[spitting out hair]
Hair, man.
-[classmates laughing] -[Tetê] It was worse.
-Hair man to you as well. [laughs] -Sorry, I didn't mean to say that.
It's just 'cause I had my head down, and when I got up, I had hair in my mouth.
And I have a lot of hair throughout my body, so…
But I don't wax by choice.
-Hmm, cool. -[chuckles] Got it.
[Tetê] I'm not an outcast by mistake.
-Is "Tetê" short for Teresa? -For Teanira.
[girl] Teanira?
Name's kind of strange, right?
Morning, babe.
Tetê, Valentina, Laís.
-Hi. -Seriously, tell us more about your name.
-[Erick] What is this, babe? -What? It's different, right?
It's a combination of my grandparents' names,
Tércio and Djanira.
And, uh, it's also the woman who Hercules held captive in Troy.
[laughing]
-That's so great. -Not really.
-This'll be a meme. -You're gonna post that?
Come on, Valentina. Let it go.
What's up with you? Didn't you hear her name and the meaning?
-I don't know which was worse. [laughs] -Well, I liked it.
Did anyone here ask your opinion?
Girl, recording another student without permission
is grounds for being expelled, so just be careful.
But "Titira" will give us permission, right?
Look, the whole school follows me So it'll be good for you.
-Actually, I, uh, I don't want that. -There. See?
Come on, forget about it. It's not worth it.
I guess you can't see I'm giving you a chance.
You know what? I don't care.
I hate stupid people, and you missed an opportunity.
Come on, Laís.
[Erick] Sorry.
Valentina can be clueless sometimes.
[indistinct chatter]
-It's occupied. -Too bad, Paulo Roberto.
-He would've loved my company. -There's a seat right over here.
Look, Zeca. [chuckles] The baddie girl from the bathroom wants you. Go ahead.
Um, darling, she needs to get in line, then.
But I'm gay. You've already noticed that, right?
-Hi, Zeca. -I love getting here and feeling welcome.
This is Tetê.
-Everything okay? -No way.
Look, I'm sorry. I know I just met you,
but I can't say I'm okay while looking at those caterpillars
you have for eyebrows. [chuckles]
That's okay.
Tetê, right? Look, don't mind him, okay? Samantha.
[upbeat music playing]
-[Tetê] And now I'm living with them. -Are you kidding? Your grandma's Djanira?
The Djanira that lives on Siqueira? So we're practically neighbors!
Your grandma always comes to my mom's salon.
Such a coincidence, it's crazy!
-Oh, cool! -I love your grandma.
She talks a lot about you a lot. She's so sweet.
[Tetê] I have to act naturally.
Come to the salon with her and dye your hair too.
She'd love that. She says I don't even brush my hair.
[laughing]
You're so funny, girlfriend!
[Tetê] Girlfriend?
Not even. You're funny, girlfriend.
[Tetê] Oh my God!
Oh, your shoelaces are untied. I'll tie 'em.
-Don't worry, I live here. -No, you could trip.
-Just let me tie it for you. -Don't worry, I can tie them--
-Myself. -There. You see?
So just let me tie 'em for you.
[chuckles]
Thanks, I guess.
Why do you wanna tie my shoelaces so bad, huh?
Because I wanna be your friend.
Oh, I get it.
Grandma told you about my terrible nickname,
and you feel bad for me.
Nickname, huh? What nickname?
-Death Pits Tetê. -"Death Pits Tetê"?
[woman] Hm, that must be her. Djanira's granddaughter.
You poor thing!
And that's why you don't have any friends, right?
[hesitating] I have friends.
I had lots of friends in Barra, I would always go out with them.
No, you didn't.
-Your grandma told me. -Told you what?
Well, just that you're very sad, very lonely.
And that's why you want to be my friend.
Because of that. And because your grandma asked me to be.
Uh, my grandmother asked you to be my friend?
She did. Look, speaking as a friend, I'm gonna have to be honest with you.
Huh?
Grandma!
Hey, Grandma!
Grandma!
You paid the salon owner's daughter so she would be my friend?
-Did she really do that to you? -She did. Isn't that outrageous?
Oh, that's genius!
-You don't need to thank me. -Grandma!
-Sweetie, so how was school for you today? -It was awful, Mom.
-Oh, my sweetheart… -Baby, you just need to be more positive.
[Djanira] It could be worse, my dear.
You could be a full-grown woman living with your parents,
with an unemployed husband,
and a diploma hidden away in your drawer collecting dust…
Hey, Mom, that's a really rude thing to say.
I stopped working so I could look after my daughter.
But hey, Tetê, you don't have to feel guilty about this.
Mommy did it because…
[kisses] …she loves you and doesn't regret it.
But you should regret it, because we should never depend on men.
Oh boy.
Forget all that. Tell me, how was school? Did you meet anyone nice?
Well, besides the girl that Grandma paid…
Mm.
…there's a boy who might become friend.
-Really? -And why would he be your friend?
Because I'm cool.
Yeah, because she's very…
-Yeah, she's more than cool-- -Hold on, darling.
Tell the truth, Tetê.
He's kind of an outcast like me.
Oh, that's wonderful. It's good to find people from the same tribe, yeah.
No, no, hold on. I don't know about that. Because you know outcasts, right?
What's the point, my love, of having a tribe
if each and every one of you are going to be locked at home
without any kind of social life?
Better than paying for a friend, all right?
[mellow music playing]
[laughing]
Look who's here! [chuckling]
[grunting]
Oh man.
[Valentina laughing in the video]
Ah!
[music continues]
[beeps]
-[gasping] -[uptempo music playing]
Oh.
Oh my God! Oh my God! Cancel!
Oh! Oh God! [whimpers]
[coughing]
[Tetê] I suffer from hyperhidrosis.
It's a thing that makes me sweat a lot when I'm stressed.
But what can I do if I'm always stressed?
[exhales]
Who's the person without a sense of smell here?
Lord have mercy.
[Tetê] Oh my God. It can't be me.
[sniffing]
My love, I know it's you. I could smell your perfume from the staircase.
-[Tetê] Uh-oh. -[Erick] Hey, Davi.
-[Davi] Good morning, Erick. -Hey, Zeca.
What's up, Tetê?
[Tetê] He said my name!
Hi, Erick!
-[sneezes] -Oh, bless you.
[Erick sneezes]
-[Tetê] Are you sick? -No, it's allergies.
-I'm allergic to some kinds of perfume. -Oh, got it.
Oh, cool, uh, I'm just gonna…
[gasps]
-Teanira, look what you did to my shirt! -My bad, Valentina.
-Valentina, apologize to her, come on. -She bumped into me. Are you nuts?
Don't worry, I'll help you clean it up. Relax. Go.
[Valentina sighs]
[mocking] "She bumped into me. Are you nuts?"
-I'm sorry about her, okay? -Mmm, don't worry, Mr. Cutie.
[chuckles]
[Tetê] I didn't just say that.
Uh, Mr. Cutie is just a term of endearment.
If you were ugly, I'd say Mr. Ugly, obviously.
We understand, right, Erick?
[flirtatiously mocking] Mr. Cutie? [laughs]
-Thanks, guys. -[Tetê] Mm.
-Girl, have you completely lost your mind? -Look at the state of my top.
Look at this.
Tetê, wanna borrow this?
Thanks, Samantha.
[exhales forcefully]
[whimsical music playing]
[Tetê] Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew!
-[blows] -[door opens]
[Laís] I'll get you some paper towel. Hold on. Here.
[inhales deeply] Ugh! I can't take it anymore.
-[Laís] Can't take what? -This new girl.
Feels like she moved to the school just to piss me off.
[Laís] Come on, girl, she seems nice. Just forget about her.
Yeah, those are the worst. I hate people that play the victim.
Her hair is so greasy and stringy and gross.
I bet you could fry some dumplings on all that grease.
Valentina, please. Enough.
And what about her elbow? It's all dry and dehydrated.
She'd be better off rubbing them on her head
to see if they get a little better.
-[phone vibrating] -[tense music playing]
[water splashes]
-[groans] -Come here.
I don't think it's cool to pick on someone just because of the way they look.
-Poor girl. -[Valentina] "Poor girl" my ass.
I saw late last night that she liked then unliked one of Erick's photos.
-[Laís] So what? -[Valentina] She was stalking him.
Really? And what were you doing on his page at night?
[Valentina] But I'm his girlfriend. Laís, whose side are you on?
[Laís] Yours, obviously. That's why I'm saying it, Valentina.
You're too pretty to be acting jealous and have this kind of rivalry.
[whistle blows]
-Am I that terrible, you guys? -Of course not, Tetê.
She's just jealous, silly. That's all.
[sighs] Of me? A goddess jealous of a cockroach?
Call yourself that again, and I'm gonna slap your right in the face.
If you see yourself like that, how do you expect other people see you?
Well, how do you guys see me, you guys?
That's a tough question to answer at the moment.
-[whistle blows] -[adventurous music playing on phone]
Hey, Laís.
Excuse me.
So you like Star Generation too?
-[music stops] -[chuckles] Yeah, I like it.
Cool! I thought I was the only one.
Cool. [chuckles awkwardly]
[Tetê panting]
Sorry, Samantha. I'll wash it before I return it.
Don't worry.
[grunts]
-Zeca, what's up with Samantha? -No clue.
If you say "no clue", it's because you know something.
Okay, I'll say it. Who cares?
For starters, her and Valentina were BFFs, like pasta and sauce.
Now, they barely talk.
I don't know about you, but I think that's super weird.
-[panting] -[exhales sharply]
[exhales forcefully]
How does sweat look good on him and so gross when I do it?
[sighs] Tetê, I don't know. But, if this is something
that's really bothering you, you should try to do something to fix it.
[whistle blows]
Come on.
Oh. [exhales]
[panting]
[gentle music playing]
-Hey. -[Tetê] Hey.
-Let Grandma sit here. -[Tetê] Sure.
Come here.
-Lay here so we can talk. -Mmm.
What's up, Grandma? What are you gonna criticize now?
I won't criticize you. I don't wanna do that.
-[Tetê] Mmm. -I love you.
I mean, if my granddaughter really wants to let her leg hair grow
long enough until she can braid it, who am I to judge? Your choice, right?
-[groans] Cool, Grandma. Thanks. -Your body, your life.
[laughs] Yeah, sort of.
Ah, my love…
-I can't accept the fact-- -Ugh, Grandma, it was going so well.
Ah, you're just so youthful,
and yet you're always there, slouching, all scruffy and alone in your corner.
You should leave all that nonsense for when you're old, my love.
Young people have superpowers, and you're not even using them.
Grandma, I… I wish I could use them.
-But it's complicated. -There's nothing complicated.
Look if Tetê from the future came back and saw you right now,
she'd give you a couple slaps in the face, so you'd quit talking all this nonsense.
[exhales forcefully]
[sighs] Okay, now I'll quit nagging.
But can you promise me that you'll have some fun?
For Grandma?
I promise.
Grandma, do we have some of these here at the house?
It's a whole list of foods that's supposed to decrease sweating.
There we go, my sweet girl! [laughs]
-Cheer up, then. Let's go! [laughing] -[upbeat music playing on phone]
-What are you doing? -[laughing]
-What are you doing? -Get up the couch. Come on, let's go!
-Okay, Grandma, okay. -Now help your Grandma!

And good luck on yours too.

[laughing] Ah, see how being rude pays off sometimes?
There's the result.
Can someone please tell Mom that she's annoying?
-I'll do it. -I love you too, Mom.
[whistle blows]
-[Tetê] Huh? Huh? Huh? [laughing] -Look at that!
That's what I call progress!
Let's go to the next one, come on.
[Samantha] What are you gonna wear for Laís' party?
[girl] I don't know. I love costume parties. Laís killed it.
-Oi! -[teacher] Come on, guys, please focus.
-Come on. -[whistle blows]
It's gonna be at her house, right? Dude, Laís' parties are always something.
I'm so excited. Everyone's gonna be there.
[teacher] Let's go. It's not over yet! Erick, facing forward, please.
I forgot to tell you,
I got us a gig for Laís' Sweet Sixteen on Saturday.
[Davi] Whoa, really?
[teacher] Teanira, get up!
Teanira, let's go, please!
Uh-- Uh, I'm gonna get some water, okay?
-Some water. -[teacher] Come on, guys!
[schoolmates chattering indistinctly]
[suspicious music playing]
[Tetê] I'd never talked to Laís before,
but I really wanted to be invited to my first party.
Hi, Laís!
-Yeah? -Um…
Do you think it's okay if, uh… I-- I don't know if you…
You mind, or see any possibility, or if you don't like the idea
and maybe it's just because I'm new that you haven't considered an invitation…
An invitation to my party?
[scoffs] Sorry, but I don't even know you, Tetê.
Hey, Valentina, look who wants an invitation to my party now:
Teanira! [laughs]
[laughing] Teanira, who do you think you are?
I mean, guys,
come witness this loser begging for an invitation to the party.
-How ridiculous! -You've got no manners, huh?
[classmates laughing]
[commenting indistinctly]
[whistle blows]
[teacher] Put some effort into it, guys!
-Come on! -[gasps]
[teacher] Let's go, everyone! Go, go, go!
[exhaling]
[teacher] Inside out now. Go, go, go!
Faster, faster!
Stop being lazy, come on!
-Hi, Laís! -[teacher] Put some effort into it, guys.
-Hi. -Um, um…
The water from the fountain tastes like some kind of fish, right?
[chuckles] I don't know. I only drink bottled water.
Well, that's great for you.
It tastes like rotten fish from a street market, you know?
Oh, you don't know. You wouldn't go to a street market.
Uh, I don't even like fish.
Uh, I'm afraid of choking with the fish bones.
Also, their eyes, they weird me out.
Uh-huh.
[gasps]
-Ouch. -Oh, I'm sorry! Did it hurt, Teanira?
-Oh my God, are you okay? -No, uh, I'm fine. Really, I'm fine.
-What did you wanna talk about? -Yeah, what were you talking about?
Nothing.
[awkward music playing]
[discreetly] Have you guys heard about Laís' party?
-No. -Me neither. But who cares.
-There won't be anyone interesting there. -I think Laís is formidable.
Mmm. Formidable, is she? So naughty!
-[Tetê chuckles] -Stop, Zeca.
Okay, everyone. For this project, form groups of four people.
You will all share the grade. Good luck.
-We could be a group, right? -Of course.
Okay, so we can work on our own and I'll combine it all later.
-Can't we meet out somewhere? -We don't have to, Tetê.
Come on, Davi, I never leave the house. I only go to school and then home.
I'm down for any other activity, even if it's just school work.
Mm, okay. We can do it at my house.
[chuckles] Thanks.
Sorry for venting,
but it's just that you guys are my only friends.
Or at least I think you are.
Here comes the depression diva.
Tetê, don't worry. You're my friend, all right?
But I just thought that friends were supposed to go out together.
do some activities together…
It's just that I don't really go out much.
Tetê, I'm your friend, okay?
I'm not here to be your tour guide and offer you excursions every day.
You wanna go out? Then purpose something, girl.
Come on, where's your initiative?
-Sorry, guys, I'm not that good at this-- -And stop apologizing too.
Feeling sorry has gotten old. And pick up your face.
Where's the diva that lives in you, huh?
Okay, you're right, Zeca.
I know that I'm boring, but I'm cool, I swear.
[Zeca and Davi laugh]
[whimsical music playing]
I'll come up with something cool for us to do, okay?
-Yeah, sounds great. -Davi! Hey, guys, how's it going?
Listen, you think it's okay if I join your group for that Biology project?
Of course, Erick.
-Uh, of course, right? -Okay, then.
Cool. I'm out of here. The waves are good today.
I thought he'd rather do it with Valentina.
[chuckles] Well, I think he'd rather not fail Biology again.
-Right, Davi? -[laughs] Yeah.
At least he's starting to think about these things now.
Hey, guys!
Would you both be down to a…
I don't know, to hang out with your new best friend this afternoon?
We created a monster, Davi.
[laughs]
[indie rock music playing]
Yo, last one, okay?
How can he be so handsome?
[mouth full] Why, Zeca?
Why in the world are there people who look like that,
and people who look like this?
Stop that.
-Come on. -Where?
Come on, take that shirt off. Let's go for a swim.
No, are you crazy? I'm super ashamed of my belly. No, no.
"Shame" is just a cute word that people like to use for "fear," okay?
And fear is exactly what keeps us from doing the things we want the most.
I spent so much time in the closet, thinking it was wrong to be who I am.
That's when I thought,
"Dude, I'm not bad. I'm not harming anyone."
If it bothers the homophobes, then that's their business,
because I won't give up being who I am to please anyone.
-Now, let's go. Take that shirt off. -No, no. Mm-mm.
Look at this guy. You'd think he was going to church.
[Tetê chuckles]
Hey, guys. I almost didn't make it. My grandpa's feeling sick.
Oh, Davi.
But it's okay. It was just a scare. How are you guys?
-[upbeat music playing] -[gasps] Hey, Erick!
-What a coincidence, right? -Did you come to get me for the project?
No, no. We're doing it on Saturday.
Oh, Laís' party is this Saturday.
Her what? I haven't heard anything.
Were you guys invited?
-She sent the invite to everyone. -No, she hasn't invited us, no.
Well, but either way, we can just work on it on Sunday, right?
What do you think?
Since she's having a party, we could do that on Saturday,
and then we'd be able to move the group project to Sunday, right?
You ready, Erick?
[Erick] Yeah, one sec.
-[surfer] Hey, guys. -It's a deal.
Our band's playing there that night, so Laís said I could invite friends.
I'll forward you the details.
[beeps]
Done. All right. Ciao, guys.
-See you Saturday. -See you.
[phones beeping]
[squeals]
-We got an invitation! -Girl, get it together.
My bad.
"You're invited to Laís' Sweet Sixteen."
Theme is the '60s. I love!
-I don't have anything to wear. -I think I might be able to help you out.
Why do you wanna go to this party so much? Laís is Valentina's best friend.
She's definitely gonna kick us out.
Laís is nothing like Valentina.
She would never do that.
[mimics sneeze] Crush!
-[laughs] -Leave me alone, Zeca.
It's just not possible that a Star Generation fan
isn't a good person.
Okay, I think Davi could be right about this, actually.
She kind of stood up for me against "Valemeanie," so…
Uh, Tetê, I won't be able to go to the party.
My brother's coming to town this weekend to visit my grandpa.
-So, I wanted to spend some time with him. -You can bring him with us!
Come on, please, Davi! He seems like a really nice guy.
[Tetê] I've stalked him on Insta, obviously.
I imagine.
Aw, you guys, don't give me those faces.
This is a chance for us to stop being outcasts.
Well, at least for one day.
So look, I'm definitely nervous too.
But it's like Zeca said earlier, fear is a terrible thing.
I just said that 'cause I wanted to go in the ocean.
Yeah, but it worked, okay? As long as we stay afraid,
people will be able to keep us from having any kind of fun.
Shall we?
[chuckles]
We shall!
Okay, fine, dammit. Let's go.
-Yes! Let's go, let's go. -Let's just go.
[all laughing]
[joyful music playing]
[laughing]
Ahh!
[all laughing]
[screaming playfully]
[Reinaldo] Put the seven and the eight over there.
Reinaldo, please stop that.
-[Reinaldo] Over here. -[Grandpa] You're cheating.
-[doorbell rings] -Papa, go on, answer it.
-[Grandpa] Okay, I'll go. -We're playing here.
-Can I help you? -[Tetê] I'll get it!
It's my friend! It's my friend!
-Ah, hi, Zeca, my friend! -Hey, girl.
-[Djanira] A friend? -Guys, this is Zeca, my friend.
-Aw, Tetê, how wonderful! Friends! -[Zeca] Hi, nice to meet you.
-Life is getting much better for you. -Pa.
-I'm the grandmother. -Nice to meet you.
Come with me, Zeca. Mom!
Jeez.
What was that? Teenagers are so easily annoyed, I don't get it.
What did I say? I'm celebrating a victory here.
Okay. So, as you can see,
my grandparents have issues throwing things away, right?
-Uh-huh. [laughs awkwardly] -Here.
Tetê! My God, you've got a treasure here, girl!
-I love fancy collars like this. -Mm.
-What about this for Davi, huh? [laughs] -[laughs]
-Where is he, by the way? -He should get here pretty soon.
-With Dudu, his brother. -Wonderful.
So, while they're on their way, I have a surprise for you, Tetê.
[Tetê] Hm?
-Shall we do this? -Oh no.
-No, no, no. -Oh, yes. Yes, yes, yes!
[Tetê groans]
Are you sure you know what you're doing with all this?
-Oh, not at all. But how hard could it be? -[doorbell rings]
Good afternoon. Delighted to meet you.
-Delighted? -[laughs]
-I'm delighted too! Come on in. -Thank you.
-[Dudu] Hey there. Excuse us. -More friends!
-Hmm, isn't that wonderful? -Yeah.
-Hi. -Hey there. How are you?
Tetê is in her room. She's in there playing with Joca. [laughs]
[Tetê screams] Ow!
-Reinaldo, go check on her. -[Reinaldo] Okay, okay, I'll… I'll go.
I'm the grandma. Do you want a cookie?
What the hell! I'm gonna kill you!
Calm down.
[shrieks] Get away from me! Get away!
I'm never gonna let you do that to me again!
So you're keeping that wax mustache, my love?
-No! No, no, no. -Uh, Tetê, for real, childish.
-Oh, I can't believe it! -[Zeca] Let's go, come on.
-[door opens] -Sweetie, Davi and Eduardo are here.
Uh, tell them I'll be there in a sec.
-Are you okay? -Everything's okay, Pa. Ciao, ciao, ciao.
[groans]
Okay, please just finish it.
[Tetê screams] Ow! [whimpers]
-She… She'll be right out. -[Helena] Mama, he goes to college.
-How marvelous! -[chuckles] Thanks.
[Helena] Yeah. [chuckles]
-Davi! [chuckles] -Hi.
[mellow music playing]
-Nice to meet you, Dudu. -Delighted to meet you.
Aw, that's so cute!
Your brother also says "delighted."
-[chuckles] -[chuckles] Delighted.
Tetê, there's something on your face.
Oh. What-- Wha-- Wha-- What is it?
Oh goodness.
-Guys, I-- I-- I'm sorry. -Why, what's wrong?
I'm t-totally red. I'm hideous.
Come on. No, not at all.
It'll go away, silly. Just relax.
You'll never get to do this to me ever again!
-Got it, Grandma? -Me?
[groans] There's no way I can go to the party now.
Of course you're going to the party, sweetie.
We're gonna work this out. No need to worry.
You're not only going to the party,
but also look marvelous and totally crush it beautifully
and without a mustache. All right? Let's do this.
-Let's do this! Excuse us… -Come with us, let's go.
[upbeat music playing]
You two, come with me.
Come here, sweetie. Sit down over there, okay?
[indistinct chattering]
["Proporcional" by Tulipa Ruiz playing]
-[Djanira] Look at this! Look! -Oh, Grandma, that's not my thing.
I look okay?
-It looks really, really good! -[Dudu] Right?
-You think that looks good? -You don't like it?
-That's not good any day. -Okay, okay.
What is that? It's too small anyway.
Didn't you say you wanted something more discrete?
Clever! This--
Oh, look who's finally finding her "thing."
[Djanira] Ah!
Can I come in? I brought these dresses for you.
Thanks.
[speaking indistinctly]
Try on this.
[indistinct chattering]
-Mama! -[Djanira] Oh! [gasps]
-Aw. -Pretty little cutie!
-[laughing] -[Djanira] I'm so happy!
-You look so amazing! -Aw. [laughs]
-Are you sure? [laughs] -I think it's good now.
-I think we've got it. -Hey, guys.
You look amazing.
-Total jaw drop. -It's perfect.
It's been, like, ten years since I last wore a dress,
because I… I've always hated my legs.
-Agh! Give a little spin so we can see. -No way.
-[Tetê] Huh? Huh? -Come on. You're beautiful!
[all laughing]
[Tetê] Dudu…
W-- Wow!
[laughs] Wow to you too, Tetê. You look gorgeous.
-You promise? -Do I really have to?
-[phone chimes] -[titters]
Babes, my dad's almost here. Shall we?
[excitedly] Hm! Party time, guys!
[laughing excitedly]
[“Dance Baby Dance” by Ras Chosen playing]
-Thank you. It was nice to meet you. -No problem, Tetê. Nice to meet you too.
Hey, she's a real catch, huh? You two behave, okay?
Dad, Tetê's just my friend. You know that, right?
Okay, José Carlos.
-But, hey, you're wasting your time. -Okay, Dad.
Okay. Thanks. Ciao.
-[Zeca's dad] Enjoy the party. Have fun. -Thank you.
Uh, Zeca, your pa doesn't know that you're gay?
I don't know. I think he might suspect it. I've never said anything, he never asked.
Yeah, but don't you feel like telling him?
-You really wanna talk about it right now? -No, no, no, no.
Let's enjoy this party. Ready?
-Always. -[squeals] Let's go!

Now we have to find Laís, so we can give her the gift, right?
Guys, you look amazing! My goodness!
-[song ends] -[crowd cheering and applauding]
[Erick] Thanks.
What's going on, guys? Hey, Samantha, how are you?
-Hey! You killed it. -Thank you.
And who's this friend of yours?
-Seriously, you didn't recognize her? -Of course I did.
I'm just shocked.
You look beautiful, Tetê.
[Zeca squeals]
No, you look great.
We all look great, right? Super great.
But, seriously, you look different. What did you do?
Mustache and eyebrows.
[chuckles awkwardly] Ah, got it.
["É Hoje Ein" by Diverio playing]
Okay, guys. See you around, okay?
Oh, look who's here!
Ooh, you look so great!
-What a diva! What a legend! -[laughs]
Her blood type? A positively hot girl!
Why are you saying that?
You're happy with yourself, and that's all that matters.
-You're glowing, Tetê. -I'm already sweating?
No, crazy girl. I'm talking about your inner glow.
["É Hoje Ein" continues playing]
[laughing]
Be right back.
-[girl] Such a great party. It's awesome. -I appreciate it.
-Evening, Laís? -Hi, Davi.
-You came, that's so cool. -Happy birthday.
-I brought you a little something. -You didn't have to.
[chuckles] I think you're gonna like it.
-Davi, the book from Star Generation! -[laughs]
And it's autographed by the actors. Look.
Awesome, Davi. Best gift I got tonight, really.
I've always wanted to meet someone who also likes Star Generation,
so we could just talk about it, you know?
I even made my grandparents watch it, but they're still on season one.
-So they don't know about the vortex? -No.
That means they don't know anything!
-And I can't spoil it. -[laughing]
Sweetie! So sorry. Could you just…
-Excuse me one minute. -No, sure.
We can chat later. It's your party.
Yeah, and we shouldn't really talk about Star Generation here, right?
Actually, please don't tell anyone I like that nerdy stuff, okay?
Oh. But why?
You understand, right, Davi?
But I loved it. Thank you. I'll see you around, okay?
-[Davi] Oh, uh… Okay. -Hm.
-Yeah? -Who's that?
No one, Mom. Just a nerd from school.
["Brisa" by IZA playing]
[laughing]
Hmm.
-God, I'm already covered in sweat. -Me too. I sweat a lot.
Wanna go outside where it's cooler?
-Just the two of us? -Yeah, sure.
-[mouthing] Kiss him! -[laughs]
-Much better, right? -[laughs] Now we can hear each other.
Yeah, and since we can, tell me a little about yourself.
-Oh, gee. -What?
Uh…
I'm not the talking kind, especially about myself.
Aw, come on. [chuckles]
Just tell me what you're thinking about right now.
I have a rash on my arm that's been there for several days.
-Huh. -[Tetê] Put me away.
-Don't let me talk ever again! -That's cool. I like that kind of stuff.
-[chuckles] -Wait. You said a rash?
Is it peeling? I love pulling them off. Can I do it?
-Please, please? -[laughing]
[Tetê] Aw, that's so stupid,
but so cute!
[gentle music playing]
[breathes deeply]
[sighs] What's up, Davi?
[sighs] It's nothing.
I just remembered why I avoid going to do stuff like this.
As much as we try to be aware of who we are
it hurts so much when it's rubbed in our faces.
Oh, buddy…
-[gentle music playing] -Yeah, but look at us.
Look where we are.
Look at this view.
Look at the sky.
Davi knows everything about the stars, right, bro?
He can look up at the sky and name each one. Look at that.
That over there is the Southern Cross.
The other one, just below and to the right, that's Libra.
And the one over there, planet Venus.
[laughing] That thing is actually a plane, all right?
[all laugh]
[Dudu] Okay.
And that one is? The one over there by itself?
-What's its name? -Well, let me check this app.
Her name is Teanira.
It's the shiniest out there. Look.
The other stars stay away, because they don't wanna be outshined.
No, none of what he said is true, okay?
[Davi and Tetê chuckle]
-[Samantha grunts, coughs] -What happened, Samantha?
I'm not well. I'm gonna throw up. Come with me.
Samantha, I'm sorry, but hearing the words "throw up"
makes my stomach feel--
Just come with me. Calm down.
-Okay. -[Samantha] Okay.
-Be right back. -[Dudu] Okay.
-[Samantha] This way. [coughing] -[Tetê] okay.
[Tetê] Come on.
-Easy, Samantha. Easy. -[coughing]
What about the bathroom inside?
I don't want anyone to see me throwing up.
-Okay. -[coughs]
Okay, listen. Stay right here and don't let anyone get close. Promise?
-Don't you want help? -No, no, stay here.
-I'm counting on you, okay? I… -Are you sure?
[Laís' mom] Aw, you girls look so great!
Mom, can you flip it to portrait so we can post it?
Guys! Boys! Sorry. Hey! You're kind of ruining it.
There we go. Yeah.
Here we go. Big smile!
Little duck face. Maybe "mmm."
-Gorgeous. -Um, one minute. Just hold on a sec.
-No, Valentina, get in there. -Not right now, sorry.
Laís, I need to ask you something. Where's Erick?
-I saw him going outside. -When was that?
-Oh, it's been a while-- -You're coming with me.
What the…
[footsteps approaching]
-Erick. Where is he? In there? -No. It's actually Samantha in there.
-She wasn't well. -She's in there with Erick.
-That's what's going on. Erick! -[Laís] Easy, easy.
Whoa. Don't you dare touch me. Get out of the way.
Laís is sophisticated, honey. Don't do this to her.
Samantha just wasn't feeling well,
and Valentina thinks Erick's in there with her.
I don't think that, I know it.
-She's playing coy with me. -No, no. Easy, easy.
-Get out of my way. -I told you. Just trust me.
-Calm down. -Hey, what's up?
Calm down. I was in the bathroom.
Samantha wasn't feeling well, I helped her.
What a coincidence, right?
-[Erick] Hey. -Are you crazy? You gonna fight me?
Tetê, I was gonna invite you to dance, but never mind.
You'd really think I'd flirt with him by pretending I'm throwing up? Seriously?
-That's exactly what I think! -Hey, Valentina.
-Samantha. -You're crazy!
Samantha, don't worry about Valentina. None of this is your fault, okay?
-Maybe it is. -Cut it out!
What? What's wrong? I'm good at reading people, okay?
And you just let her into the bathroom with you?
-What do you want? I had to help her. -What's your problem, Erick?
["Lance Criminoso" by Papatinho, MC Cabelinho, Xamã, BK playing]
-Oh, Samantha. Come on, cheer up. -How am I supposed to do that?
-Everybody thinks I'm a liar. -Everybody thinks you're human.
[hesitating]
Samantha, did you and Erick kiss in there?
Of course not, Tetê. Now you too?
Carol? Carol? Oh, uh, so sorry.
I was looking for my daughter. Is everything okay?
["Lance Criminoso" continues playing]
Alrighty.
Time to cheer up. Let's go.
-We're gonna go back to the party. -[sighs] One second.
-I'm just gonna go wash my face. -Okay.
I don't feel well, Tetê.
-[Laís] How are you doing, Valentina? -[Valentina] They're just so pathetic.
The whole class. Everyone except the two of us.
Including Erick. He has the brain of a little ant.
The rest of them are just losers. Complete losers.
They all envy us, Laís.
And you know why?
They can't deal with the fact that we're better than they are.
They should admire us.
They should wanna be like us, be inspired by us.
But no.
I can't take these small-minded people from school anymore, Laís.
[scoffs]
What are you looking at? Tell me. You're always creeping up on me!
Always, from day one, been haunting me like a ghost.
I really wish I knew why you treat me like this all the time.
[sighs] You still don't get it.
Don't worry, because I'll do the nice thing and explain it to you.
I've got many reasons.
First of all, you've been shamelessly hitting on to my boyfriend
since the very first day of school.
Second, you stink.
And third, you're ugly. Fourth, you're boring.
Fifth, your teeth piss me off.
And sixth, you make me nauseous.
I have those reasons and many more, but I don't wanna waste
more of my time explaining it to you.
[Laís] Let's go, Valentina. Cut it out.
Yeah. Go. Go away.
Go away, loser. Get out of my face!
I wouldn't want anyone to see me actually talking to you.
It's embarrassing!
[scoffs]
["Lance Criminoso" continues playing]
-Zeca, Zeca. -What happened, Tetê?
I wanna go home. Can we please go now?
Okay. I'll see if my papa can come get us now.
-Tetê? Are you okay? -I just wanna go home, that's all.
We've just called a ride. Wanna come with us?
Mm-hmm.
["Lance Criminoso" continues playing]
Thank you.
[Dudu] Hey…
Hold on. Stay here just a sec.
Hey! Wait. I'll walk you to the door.
[car door closes]
Are you okay?
Yeah, I am.
I just thought that all my problems would disappear once I had friends.
But, apparently, they just get more complicated.
Aw, Tetê, don't say that.
Look, when things get complicated,
friends are what get us through the tough stuff.
Yeah, that's true. I don't know what I'd do without Davi.
See? And you're also a light in Davi's life.
Thank you.
No, thank you. And… And I loved meeting you.
And I loved the party. I loved your company.
And am I gonna see you before I head back to Minas?
I'll be doing a school project tomorrow at your house.
[chuckles] Great.
Oh, and thank you for the ride. [chuckles]
Uh, wait!
-You're not gonna give me a kiss? -[record scratch]
[Tetê] Jesus Christ, the Lord of Stray Cupids,
I've never been kissed. I'm not ready!
[Dudu] Ciao.
-What's up? -Nothing.
You thought I was gonna kiss you on the mouth without your permission?
-[chuckles] -[Tetê] "Permission," how cute!
Relax. I was just gonna kiss you on both your cheeks. A goodbye kiss.
[Tetê] Obviously.
[clenching teeth] No, it's… It's just I have a toothache.
-Toothache? -[Tetê] Yeah.
-Do you want me to go to the pharmacy-- -No! No, no, no.
-I can go for you-- -No, no, no. Don't worry.
-I have it at home. -Are you sure?
Mm-hmm. I'm gonna, uh…
[chuckles] Uh, cool ride. Uh, nothing like it was cold, but awesome!
-[Dudu] Of course. -Uh, good night.
-Uh, great night. You get it. Uh, ciao. -Right. Ciao.
[elevator swishing]
[shrieks]
[exhaling forcefully]
-[breathing heavily] -[playful music playing]

What? You wanna kiss me, Dudu?
But wait. What's that?
You also wanna kiss me, Erick?
One minute.
Well, Erick showed up before you, Dudu.
Wait for me.
[indie music playing]
-Sweetie? -Pa!
[whimpering] What are you doing here?
I saw that you'd arrived home, but you were taking too long to come up.
-Okay. Okay. Okay, Pa, okay. -I came out here to make sure you're okay.
[groans]
[door closes]
[gasps]
[excitedly] It's you!
Were you all spying on me from the living room window?
No, no way! We, uh… Right, Mom?
-We didn't see anything. -No.
-There was nothing to see anyway, right? -[Helena] Yeah.
-What are you talking about? -Sweetie, no one's rushing you, my love.
That's right, my dear. Play hard to get.
What the heck, Papa? That's so old-fashioned.
[shushes] Cut it out. It's her call.
-But did you enjoy the party? -That's what's important.
-Well… -Ah…
It was good. It was.
-Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! -[family cheering and laughing]
-[Grandpa] Bravo! -[Helena] Whoo!

-[chokes, coughs] -Studies IT too, you know.
-Ex-girlfriend. Right, Grandma? -[laughs] Of course. I forgot.
There's no way Taurus and Aquarius would work out together.
-Hey, Dudu. -Hey.
Uh, well, I know nothing about zodiac signs,
but, uh, I… I'd love to know which sign goes well with mine.
Well, talk to my grandson Davi. He knows everything about astrology.
But don't talk about it around Inácio. He doesn't like that stuff.
It's not that I don't like it. I just don't believe in it.
-Hi, Mr. Inácio. -Delighted. Tetê.
Delighted. [chuckles]
My love, you know you shouldn't be up and about.
-Oh, relax, baby. -You're the doctor, remember?
-[laughs] -[doorbell rings]
-Oh, uh, I'll get it. -No, no. I'll get it.
-Excuse me, guys. -[laughs]
-Grandpa, look at our Biology project. -Oh, where is it?
-[Davi] What do you think about our RNA? -[Inácio] Oh, well, let me take a look.
Adenine, cytosine…
-I'm glad he's doing well, your grandpa. -Yeah, some days he feels better.
Hey there. What's up, guys? Sorry, I'm late.
Oh, I see you didn't bring your girlfriend.
-I was kind of craving some drama. -My girlfriend?
I don't know about that anymore.
[suspicious music playing]
Did you hear that?
Well, um… So, I'm gonna let you guys finish your project.
Uh, Tetê, if you want, I can drop you off at home later.
Just let me know, okay? Pão de queijo?
-Sounds great. -[Dudu] Enjoy your project.
[Davi] Bye, bro.
-[Erick] See you. -[Inácio] God bless you. [chuckles]
You have no idea how miraculous this whole thing is.
-Our genetic code? -Exactly.
On every transmission, the code changes just a little bit.
And that's how we become more complex,
how we evolve.
It's bizarre to think that we came from microbes.
-And we actually turned out okay, right? -[all laugh]
[Grandma clears throat]
Uh, let me go to my room,
'cause Mrs. Maria Amelia is giving me a dirty look.
-[boys laugh] -Ciao, Grandpa.
-Thank you. -You're welcome. Bye. [chuckles]
-Your grandpa is so cool! -So intelligent, Tetê.
[Erick chuckles]
Oh, Erick, you're the smart one for breaking up with Valentina.
-Dropping the truth. -[Erick chuckles]
Oh, oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's just that Valentina is not the most--
I'm aware. I feel you.
I guess when picking your next girlfriend, just try to do a bit better, right?
Oh, Zeca, I'm not gonna date again so soon.
-[boys chuckle] -Okay, then. Sure.
The project, you guys. Shall we work on our project?
-Right. -[Zeca] Cool.
We still… Let's go.
Hey, Tetê, after this I'm rehearsing with the band. You wanna come with me?
[upbeat song playing, in Portuguese]
[chuckles]
[Tetê] I picked Handsome Erick.
Go ahead and judge me,
but when would I ever imagine I'd be invited to a band's rehearsal?

[whistling to the melody]
[chuckles]
[inhales deeply]
So, did you like it?
Well, I loved it.
I almost cried.
Cried?
Well, Erick, when would a girl like me
even imagine getting invited to a band's rehearsal?
You're so cute. You know that, right?
I don't know that. I kind of suddenly felt like crying.
I kind of suddenly feel like kissing you. Do you mind?
[gentle music playing]
Uh, I don't mind.
[gentle music playing]
[Tetê] Brazil, North Pole, China! Is this really happening?
Do I open my mouth? Do I move my mouth? Do I bite his lips?
The last thing I want in this world is to hurt Erick.
He-- Shut up, Tetê!
I'm gonna call this moment Top of the World!
What do you mean "change schools"? I just got here and I'm loving it.
I know, sweetie. But we're trying to rent an apartment in Flamengo,
and we have to get you out of that school. It's too expensive for us right now.
[sighs] Is this for real?
[Helena] Sweetie, we can't just live rent-free
at your grandparents' house for forever, my love.
Well, I've always lived rent-free at my parents' place.
I don't have a problem with it.
I just don't wanna have to change schools.
I guess we could try financial aid.
Maybe a scholarship.
You're a good student and you're always well-behaved.
-Uh-huh. -It'll have to be a heck of a scholarship.
Yeah.
-We'll figure it out. -[Reinaldo] Mm-hmm.
We have to figure it out.
I don't wanna start all over from scratch.
Don't do this to me. Please, don't.
[breathes deeply]
[upbeat acoustic music playing]
-[Samantha] Tetê! Tetê! -Hi, Samantha.
-I need to talk to you. -[excitedly] Hm, I do too!
-It's about Erick. -How did you know?
-I maybe kinda kissed him. -"Maybe"?
Yeah, maybe kinda because of the big fight, remember?
-So you just lied to me? -[sighs]
You used me and lied to me!
[exhales] I still like Erick.
You can judge me. I'm a terrible person.
No. What you did doesn't make you a bad person.
-No? -No.
You know what? The one who really screwed up was Erick.
Erick had a girlfriend. Erick cheated.
Erick's the bad person.
[upbeat acoustic music continues]
[indistinct chatter]
Hey.
I know everything, Erick. Samantha told me.
-[Erick] Hold on -Can you just tell me why?
I can explain.
That's just how I was raised.
I'm a victim of being in a sexist society.
Victim?
Imagine getting called handsome every day of your life.
-What would happen to your head? -Huh?
[teacher] Good morning, class.
Please upload your presentation to this computer here.
It's connected to the projector.
Okay? Go ahead.
[groovy acoustic music playing]
COPYING FILES
That's it, guys. That's my presentation.
-Thanks. -[all applauding]
[teacher] Thank you.
Group Four.
Hey, you're gonna tell me, right?
Ugh. Zeca, I think we should just pretend nothing happened.
-I'll press play. -[teacher] Let's go, guys.
They're just so pathetic. The whole class. Everyone except for the two of us.
Including Erick. He has the brain of a little ant.
The rest of them are all losers. Total losers.
They should admire us, be inspired by us.
They should want to be--
-What the hell? -What's going on here, Teanira?
I don't know, I don't know, I swear.
You're trying to play dumb, huh? I saw you recording that video!
-Laís was with me. She saw it too, right? -It wasn't me! I didn't record anything.
[sarcastically] Way to go, Valentina. Yeah, inspire us.
-[class laughs] -Calm down, everyone.
Valentina, the least you can do is apologize to everybody here.
Are you insane?
That video was taken out of context, Erick.
If anyone here should apologize, it's her!
I didn't do anything!
-[grunts] Valentina! Cut it out! -[class chanting] Fight! Fight!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
[teacher] Stop it, girls! I mean it! Cut it out! Stop it!
[Laís] Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
-[chanting continues] Fight! Fight! -[Tetê] Wait, my--
[Zeca] Valentina, why?
Get her off!
Take that, Teanira, you crazy bitch!
-[Laís] Valentina, stop it! -[Davi] Come on, break it up!
Let go of me, Erick! You suck!
-Don't! Let go of me! -Calm down!
You crazy, stupid outcast!
-Hey! Hey! Everyone! What's going on here? -Let go.
-[Tetê] I didn't do it, I told you. -[Valentina] Of course you did!
[Tetê] Someone must've switched the project files.
Conceição, we made the presentation using my computer,
and then I transferred it to Tetê's flash drive.
Then she gave me the flash drive
and I just transferred the files to the computer.
But there were no videos of Valentina at all in my flash drive.
-What about Erick? Erick? Yeah, you. -Me?
-Erick is, uh-- -He didn't even do any work for it at all.
If we're being honest here, his main alibi is his incompetence.
If anyone's innocent here, it's definitely Erick.
-Really, Zeca. -Guys, this is very serious.
-I want your parents here tomorrow. -No!
What?
-[Davi] Conceição… -I didn't do it, Conceição.
Now, my parents will definitely make me change schools.
No, Tetê. They'll understand.
I must find a way to prove that it wasn't me that did this
before my parents find out about it.
Let me think for a sec.
Who would have a reason to do this to Valentina?
[both] The whole school.
But especially you, am I right?
-What the heck, Zeca? -Just saying.
Davi, can you come with me to the principal's office?
[gentle music playing]
Davi?
[students chattering indistinctly]
-Tetê. -What, Erick?
Do you really think I… I have the brain of an ant?
-I didn't say that. It was Valentina. -But you played the video.
No, I didn't, Erick!
Look, I'm sweating all over again.
Just say it. Do you think so or not?
[sighs]
Your problem's not having the brain of an ant, Erick.
Your brain is working great for you.
For surfing, for the band. It's all so chill.
Your problem is that you don't care about anyone else.
[phone beeps]
It's Davi's grandfather.
INÁCIO ARAÚJO 1942-2019 BORN A MAN, DIED A BOY
-[gentle music playing] -[birds chirping]
Is that his wife?
[Tetê] Mm.
[Davi breathes deeply]
[sobs]
I know he's resting now.
But my granddad was my best friend, Tetê.
It hurts so much. [cries]
Davi,
I've known you for a really short time,
but I already care about you so much.
Go on, Davi. You can cry, buddy.
-[sobbing] -[Zeca] Don't hold back.
-[Davi sniffles] -Come.
[sobbing]
[woman] Dudu?
Baby, I'm so sorry.
[Tetê] "Baby"?
[cries]
[breathing shakily] Davi…
did your brother get back together with her?
I don't know, Tetê.
-[groans] I don't deserve this. -[softly] No, Tetê.
-[whining] -It's not the time.
-Are you insane? You're being selfish! -I'm sorry, Zeca!
[shushes]
-This is just too much all at once. -Come on, wake up, Tetê.
Look around you. Look at what's happening here.
You're obviously not the only one suffering right now, okay?
You're just really dramatic.
[Djanira] Straight to the shower, okay?
You just came from the cemetery, so throw yourself into the shower
and put your clothes in the machine.
Oh, there's my girl. Come give me a kiss!
Hey, sweetheart.
[Tetê sniffles]
-Hey, wait. Where's that smile of yours? -[Djanira] Zé, not right now.
She's in a mood today.
If only she knew how ugly she looks with that grumpy face.
[Zé] Oh, she's just hungry, but I have the solution for that.
Look what Grandpa bought you. Chocolate, huh. You love it, right?
[Reinaldo] Not a good idea, Mr. José.
Chocolate causes acne and she already has a tendency for it.
Tetê, if you want something, my darling, ask for it.
[inhales deeply]
No one can stand for a sour face like that for so long.
[yells] Shut up!
[sad music playing]
[Tetê] Shut up.
[crying] Leave me alone.
Please, just leave me alone.
I'm not grumpy, okay? I'm not sour.
[crying]
Let me feel sad.
Let me be sad.
I'm glad that you guys can watch the world falling apart
and just sit around and feel nothing.
Well, I can't.
I cry, I suffer.
Why do I have to keep laughing like an idiot just to please others?
And for the millionth time, Grandpa,
I hate chocolate.

COPACABANA HIGH SCHOOL
Tetê…
Good morning, Teanira.
-Here to confess? -Guess we'll see.
-Good morning, Tetê. -[exhales]
-And where are your parents? -No need for that, Conceição.
-I'm gonna prove my innocence. -Hold on a moment.
Could everybody excuse us, please?
Actually, I wouldn't mind them staying, if that's okay with you.
Okay. You can begin, then.
Well, the only thing that I knew for sure
is that I hadn't recorded Valentina.
So I had to go back in time to the day of the party,
to know who actually did.
[rewinding]
[“Lance Criminoso” playing]
[Tetê] Sure, it's true that I don't usually go
to a lot of parties,
but I've seen a bunch of them online.
So I had to go back to the exact moment
when Valentina's video was recorded.
They're just so pathetic. The whole class. Everyone except for the two of us.
[rewinding]
[Valentina] They're just so pathetic. The whole class. Everyone--
[Tetê] And by listening to the exact part of the song that was playing,
I was able to find out what each and every one of the guests
was doing when it happened.
[“Lance Criminoso” playing]
And that's when I determined who did it.
Who?
[suspenseful music playing]
Just say it already!
It was Zeca. Valentina's always making fun of him.
[groans] You're obsessed with me, Paulo Roberto.
-I'm thinking it was Samantha. -What? No, of course I didn't do it.
-It was you, right, Erick? -No, you guys. Let me say it!
The person who exposed Valentina
was her best friend.
Please upload your presentation to this computer here.
It's connected to the projector. Okay?
[Tetê] The birthday girl.
-It was Laís. -Huh?
You're crazy! Laís was with me then.
That's the craziest part.
It wasn't Laís who recorded it.
Her mom did it.
[“Lance Criminoso” playing]
-That's crazy. -I know, right? It's crazy…
But wait, I'm not done yet.
During the party, I thought it was weird
that her mom was looking for someone named Carol.
Carol? Carol?
Oh, uh, so sorry. I was looking for my daughter.
[Tetê] So I figured out that she was actually talking about Laís.
Then I asked a friend of mine for help.
He knows everything about computers.
-Oh, damn. -So?
-[Dudu] This is actually tricky, Tetê. -Hey, Dudu, let me take a look at it.
[Tetê] And also his girlfriend, who's even more of a genius.
Laís Carolina Ribeiro. Looks like before she lived in Rio,
she used to attend this school in São Paulo.
This is it. It's her.
Valentina is originally from São Paulo, too, right?
Yeah, she is.
But she's been going to our school a lot longer Laís.
-[typing] What's Valentina's last name? -Castro. Valentina Castro.
Is this her?
Yep.
You guys…
[Tetê] And then, I found this.
Do you see this girl right here?
So pretty, so cute.
It's Valentina.
And what about this one here? All alone, in the corner--
Carol.
[Tetê] I was able to get in touch with another student from back then,
that confirmed to me that Carol, or Laís as we know her,
suffered bullying by Valentina ever since kindergarten.
Valentina made a living hell out of Laís' life,
until her parents decided to move to Rio de Janeiro.
And over eight years, Laís lost weight,
got a nose job, facial harmonization surgery,
all of that with her mom's support, so that she could become popular
and get revenge on Valentina.
I thought you were supposed to be my friend.
I'm your friend, Valentina?
You said I looked like a plant,
that my nose looked like a toucan's.
I was depressed when I was eight years old.
Did you know that, Valentina?
You know what it's like for a child to be diagnosed with depression?
I didn't want that video to exist. I didn't wanna get revenge on you.
But when my mom showed me the recording,
I realized the only way to make you see
what you do to everyone else was to show it.
[sniffles, breathes deeply]
[Valentina] Move! Move! Move! Move!
[footsteps receding]
[gentle music playing]
-[Tetê] Ciao, Conceição. -[Conceição] Ciao.
Zé Carlos, this friend you got here, impressive, huh?
Not at all. Zeca is the special one here.
Your son is a master eye-opener, that's for sure.
[chuckles]
I'm starting to realize that about you too.
-Davi. -[Davi] Hm?
I want to thank you. You, uh… You saved my life.
I… I don't know what I would've done without you.
Actually, without you, uh, Dudu, and his girlfriend.
Ex-girlfriend. Right, Dudu?
She's my friend, Tetê.
[Tetê] Just kidding.
[rewinding]
-She's my friend, Tetê. -Seriously?
-I thought you were back together. -No, no.
Oh, by the way, Dudu is coming to Rio next semester.
He was able to get transferred so he can be closer to us.
[Valentina] Tetê…
[grunts] Listen, if you're here to bully my friend,
you can go away, Valentina! Enough is enough.
I'm not here to do that, Zeca.
I'm here to apologize to Tetê.
-Apologize? -[Valentina] Yeah.
-[emotional music playing] -I didn't realize
how much I was harming people. And I had no idea people hated me so much.
Oh, you didn't know that?
[scoffs] See that girl? As wacky as you can get.
[Valentina crying]
You guys, I'm so ashamed of myself.
[crying]
I found out I'm a monster.
Well, now I think you're being dramatic.
[sniffles] I'm not, Tetê.
[sniffles] I'm a monster for real.
The truth is, I'm afraid of being an outcast too.
I'm really afraid of being bullied.
[crying]
I don't know, I… [cries]
It's… It's like attacking to protect myself, you know?
To feel like I'm powerful.
That's why I belittle other people. [sobs]
[sniffles]
Valentina,
the one thing that makes me feel the most powerful
is a big hug.
Come here.
Feel better? Yeah?
-You guys, look at that! [laughing] -[all applauding]
Whoo-hoo!
Get over here, Laís!
[Tetê] Laís spent years trying to change herself completely.
She changed her address, her body, her face.
But the changes that really matter happen within.
[girls laughing]
[Tetê] The more I accept myself, the less dramatic I feel.
And with less drama, any problems are much easier to solve.
[classmates applauding and cheering]
We didn't want Tetê to have to change schools again, you know?
Yeah. Especially because she really loves it at this school. Right, Helena?
We'll figure it out.
Tetê's a very special student, and our school wants to hold on to her
for as long as we can, so don't you worry.
-Okay? -[Conceição and Helena laugh]
[Tetê] Nothing better than the perspective of someone who's been through this already
to help us see what's really important.
[Helena] Papa, you can't lift anything heavy, okay?
[family chattering indistinctly]
Whenever you get tired of being around your ma and pa,
just come back here. It'll always be your house, okay?
Listen, Tetê, I think it's outrageous that you're leaving with them.
How are you gonna live without your grandma?
I love you two so much.
And I won't be far,
because I want you guys always close to me, okay?
Ah. [kisses]
Don't abandon us, okay?
[Tetê] Cherishing friendships, love,
developing our skills,
growing and learning, how to accept others and yourself,
without taking things so seriously.
Davi!
What are you doing over there? Let me see.
Your astrological map. And if we're being honest…
[Tetê] We don't know what the future holds.
And I'm not in a rush to find out anymore.
-Hi! -Hey there.
Oh yay, you're here!
-[Laís] Hey! -[Valentina] Let's take a selfie!
-Come on, everyone, huddle up. -Guys, come take a picture.
-Come on! -[Valentina] Let's take a picture, guys!
[Tetê] I just wanna enjoy life
and only sweat over the things that really matter.
-Great! -[Dudu] Hey!
-How are you? -I'm good. How are you?
Come!
Ah! [laughing]
