Odd that you have a movie where a 43 old woman gets with a 17 year old boy, and its reviewed as a regular movie, yet if it was a 43 year old man involved with a 17 year old girl, the reviews would be full of disgust. Expected, but sad.

Anyway, the story is about a 17 year old boy who has a mother who is a therapist. He listens to the female patients on the phone and pleasures himself. As fate would have it, one of the women, who has just left her husband, think its him calling (because apparently she couldn't ask her husband if it was him calling and not speaking), so she somehow is feeling good about a silent call. Once she finds out who it is, she's disgusted and horrified but, of course, not too disgusted and horrified to not pursue the kid. It's painted in this film as a woman who enjoys the attention she wasn't getting (of course it is, welcome to "equality 2023), and the challenges the both face (which not surprisingly is not only he's a 17 year old boy and she's a grown woman, but again, welcome to "equality" as we know how that would have been portrayed if the sexes were reversed).

In the end, its an ok movie, but I and many others just are tired of the hypocrisy of groups who claim to want "equality" yet really get preferential, double-standard treatment, and this movie is yet another example. Sad.

Very underrated movie, with excellent acting and a quite innovative and awkward story. While I was a bit confused in the very beginning, the pieces soon started to fit each other and the psychological weirdness became very interesting. Psychologists will be less comfortable in having their offices inside their homes. A nice exploration of sexuality in many angles: initiation, perversion, unbalanced affairs, limits of homoaffectivity, frustrations and compensations... Karine Teles and Denise Fraga are wonderful in their roles, but all casting go well, including the youngest, Tom Karabachian and Anita Ferraz.
