Young Hearts (Seasons 1–27)

Young Hearts (Malhação, from 1995) is a Brazilian teen drama series you can watch online on iFILM. Airing on Globo since the mid-nineties, it has run for three decades and stands as one of the longest-running youth soap operas in Latin America.

Each season brings new characters and a fresh setting — a gym club, a high school in Rio de Janeiro's Barra da Tijuca — while returning to the same territory: first relationships, clashes with parents, career doubts, questions about identity and sexuality. The series handles those topics with a light, occasionally comedic touch rather than lectures. Young cast members discover, stumble, and grow. Experienced adult characters offer perspective without taking over the story.

Dozens of directors and actors have rotated through the show over the years, including Luigi Baricelli and Daniele Suzuki. Stream Young Hearts (Malhação) online on iFILM.
