Although the ice melted, Leo could only confess to Azhi that he loved Aki. Azhi appeared extremely confident and calm, without any stunning meaning, this was a long-lost understanding and trust. This is exactly the inner filling brought by the blazing summer of growth.
The question is whether Leo is sure that he is a friend, or is it just because Aki gave him a new kiss, of course, the movie will not explain it. Such as clearing the ditch and flowing slowly, you can see the shadows of two boys and a girl, they are smiling slightly. This is their youth time, a leaf falls, and autumn is coming.

The Way He Looks quotes

  • Giovana: [watching Karina meet Gabriel outside the boys' bathroom] She's such a slut, isn't she? There. She's made her move. She is all friendly, talking to him, playing with her hair. She touched his shoulder, Leo. And his hand! She doesn't even know if he's washed it.

  • Carlos: I was thinking about the exchange program you talked about.

    Leonardo: Really?

    Carlos: Really, but you can't talk while you're shaving.

    Leonardo: Sorry.

    Carlos: I'm trying to understand your desire to go so far away. I think it's natural, especially at your age, to want to see other places, meet new people, make other friends. I think it's normal, but I also think it's very natural to fight with your parents. I was like that, too, but it's too extreme to leave the country to run away from the fights. You know... I'm thinking about talking to your mother about the program, but first I need to understand if you want to go for the right reasons. Do you agree, Leo? Do you agree?

    Leonardo: Can I talk now?
