Socrates

Directed by Alexandre Moratto

Following the sudden death of his mother, Socrates, a 15-year-old navigating the fringes of São Paulo's coastal life, must learn to fend for himself as he grapples with overwhelming grief.
Socrates is a powerful Brazilian coming-of-age drama about a teenager left to survive alone after his mother’s death. Christian Malheiros gives an extraordinary performance, and Alexandre Moratto’s close, urgent filmmaking makes the boy’s grief, poverty and sexuality feel immediate.
