The girl Givana (Tess Amorim) and the boy Leo (Ghilherme Lobo) are best friends. Although Leo is blind, he has always longed for independence and dislikes too much protection from his parents. New transfer student Gabriel (Fabio Audi) accidentally breaks into Leo's world and changes Leo's and Jiwana's relationship. Leo worries about falling in love with Gabriel, Jivana is sad about Leo's estrangement, and Gabriel's ignorant response complicates the world of boys and girls...
"Love, Simple" It is the debut feature of Brazilian director Daniel Ribeiro based on his 2010 short film "Love, Holding Hands", which was filmed by the original cast. "Love, Holding Hands" won the Best Short Film Award at 11 film festivals. "Love, Simple" still tells about the love that crosses vision in holding hands. However, compared with the short film, the focus of the story has shifted from sexual awakening to the independent growth of the protagonist. Independence becomes the core of the film, including his free will to independently choose whom to love. "Love, Simple" won the International Film Critics' Fabisi Award in the Panorama Section of the 64th Berlin Film Festival, as well as the Teddy Bear Award, the highest honor for gay films.

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?
