The Best Friend
Punctuated with bright and catchy ‘80s-style tunes, this frothy, feel-good musical rom-com about revisiting old regrets will have you dancing in your seat.
After his boyfriend pops the question in an elaborate public proposal, an overwhelmed Lucas escapes to a resort in Canoa Quebrada. Amongst the Brazilian sun and sand he’s reunited with handsome straight lothario Felipe, a former university crush, who’s working as a tour guide. As Lucas surrenders himself to the liberating intimacy of the colourful local nightlife, old desires are reawakened when he sees Felipe working as a go-go boy in a gay bar. Is Felipe really as straight as Lucas thought?
Like all the best romances, The Best Friend is as much about Lucas learning to love himself as it is finding love. Featuring snappy one-liners, steamy rendezvous and an appearance from Brazilian pop icon Gretchen as her over-the-top self, this effervescent, summery romantic comedy is a true crowd-pleaser.
