Leonardo is a blind teenager trying to live an independent life, whilst dealing with his overprotective mother. He plans to go on an exchange programme abroad, but his blossoming feelings for new student Gabriel make him question his plans to move away, much to the disappointment of his supportive best friend, Giovana.
The Way He Looks is the debut feature-length film from award-winning filmmaker Daniel Ribeiro, who won the Iris Prize for the short film, I don’t want to go back alone.
