My Sweet Orange Tree (2012)

Description

Zezé (João Guilherme Ávila) is almost eight years old and lives with his poor family in the countryside. He's precocious, he's a storyteller – he's a troublemaker! His favorite pastime is transforming his house and the neighborhood into a setting for his mischief. And there's no shortage of it. His favorite refuge is a lime tree. It's with this tree that he confides about the bad things that happen to him, shares his loneliness, or celebrates good news, like his friendship with Manoel Valadares, the "Portuguese man" (José de Abreu).
