Season 16

Season 16 of Young Hearts (Malhação, 1995) is here to watch online on iFILM — 215 episodes from 2009. Brazil's teen drama, almost two decades old by now, returns to a Rio school with a refreshed cast.

The gap before this run shows in its tone: the kids are a little older, the conversations a little heavier. What to do after school. How to keep a relationship when families get involved. Where friendship ends and something more begins. The 2009 season still talks it all through warmly and with humour, but it leans into sharper subjects than the early years did.

Episodes stay short and the plot takes its time, so it's easy to watch all episodes in a row, a few per evening. If you like long coming-of-age stories without the heavy drama, this one fits. Watch Young Hearts Season 16 online on iFILM.
