Co-writer and director Thiago Cazado also stars in the film About Us as Diego, a young man who is planning to leave his hometown in Brazil to attend a film school in California – where he’ll be gone for four years.
In order to take this step forward, he will have to leave behind everything he has ever loved… including Matheus (Rodrigo Bittes), a handsome young man with whom he fell madly in love and shared a brief passionate affair.
Ten years later, having returned to Brazil, Diego decides to write a novel about their relationship, using his camera instead of his pen.
This heartfelt biopic shows how passion can increase our motivation in life, but also how making tough choices can affect that passion. Romantic and intimate, filmed with a handheld, fly-on-the-wall intimacy, About Us brings us right into the middle of a tricky relationship – portrayed with aplomb by the two lead actors.
