Synopsis
From Beginning to End (Do Começo ao Fim, 2009) is a Brazilian romance by Aluizio Abranches you can watch online on iFILM. Francisco and Thiago grow up in a warm, well-off Rio de Janeiro household where nothing comes between them. The two brothers are inseparable from childhood, and as the years pass that closeness turns into something far beyond family.
As young men, they admit they're in love. The film tells this story quietly, refusing both scandal and judgment even as it breaks two taboos at once. Abranches lets the camera linger on sunlit Rio and on his actors, handing the viewer a question rather than a verdict.
The movie stirred debate on the festival circuit and became a notable entry in Brazilian queer cinema. Rafael Cardoso and João Gabriel Vasconcellos play the adult brothers, with Júlia Lemmertz as their mother. If you want a slow, sensual drama with no moralizing, this one rewards a look.
