Goodbye, Boys Goodbye, Boys Sacha Amaral Producers Agustin Gagliardi & Ricca Galdeano, Isabel Machado, Romain Bent Lab Edition 13 , 2025 SCENE PITCH Production Quadrophenia Films, C.R.I.M, Solal Films Country Brazil, Portugal, France SYNOPSIS After their mother’s death, Ian (12) and Noah (14) are shuffled between unwilling guardians. From their grandmother’s decaying rural home to the sterile luxury of their aunt’s estate, each stop reshapes them. Bound by a fierce loyalty, the brothers set off to find their estranged father—only to confront the deeper weight of grief, affection, and the quiet ache of not having a place to call their own. DIRECTOR'S NOTE This film was born from a childhood memory—an act of blind trust between brothers that ended in cruelty. Told through Ian’s eyes, it follows two siblings navigating grief, absence, and the quiet, often invisible violences of family life. As their bond begins to crack, they confront a world that feels increasingly unjust. Childhood here isn’t innocence, but the first brush with betrayal and beauty alike. The film lingers in that space—fragile, uncertain—where memory and emotion shape who we become. ABOUT THE FILMMAKER Sacha Amaral is a Brazilian director, screenwriter, and teacher based in Argentina.
