Travessia

About This Movie

Travessia is a haunting portrayal of a young gay boy navigating the troubled waters of adolescence in rural Brazil. The film’s atmosphere is thick with tension; you can almost feel the oppressive weight of societal expectations and simmering violence. It dives deep into themes of love and fear, creating a stark contrast that resonates with the viewer. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of raw emotion to linger, making the inevitable turmoil even more gut-wrenching. Performances feel authentic, almost painfully so, drawing you into their struggles. What stands out here is how it confronts real-life issues of homophobia with an unflinching lens. It’s not easy viewing, but there’s a distinctive bravery in its storytelling that leaves a mark.
