The Way He Looks	comment	A 2014 drama film directed, written and co-produced by Daniel Ribeiro.Leonardo is a blind teenager whose life isn't without troubles - he's bullied at school, has to deal with his overprotective mother, and then there's the fact he's not even had his First Kiss yet...luckily his best friend Giovana is always there to help.In a bid to become more independent, Leo considers signing up for an exchange program abroad. However, the arrival of a New Transfer Student leads him to develop feelings he's never felt before, and throws his life-long friendship with Giovana into complete disarray.Originally titled Hoje Eu Quero Voltar Sozinho (Today I Want to Go Back Alone), it was based on the short film Eu Não Quero Voltar Sozinho (I Don't Want to Go Back Alone), by the same creator.

The Way He Looks / int_108c268e	comment	Hotter and Sexier: Downplayed but definitely when compared to the short. The film itself is still pretty innocent but it deals with more sexual themes. Comes with shirtless scenes, shower scenes and Leo gets to masturbate.

However he's not so much emotionless but, very "blind" to others (Gi's and his mother’s) emotions sometimes coming off as insensitive. Often due to the fact he can't see what his friends can, missing details that happen around him.Id: Gi— Protective and not afraid to speak her mind. Most of the Inter friendship-conflict is driven by her being Jealous of both Leo and Gabriel and choosing to ignore them.Ego: Gabriel — Tells Gi not to bottle her feelings up and helps Leo to be more at peace with himself and his other classmates.
