Socrates

Socrates is a 15-year-old boy wise beyond his years. His life in São Paulo becomes much harder after he finds his mother lying dead in her bed. After being promised that he will be able to collect his mother’s ashes once her cause of death is determined, he tries to continue making a life of his own. Deep in debt and needing a job just to make the rent, Socrates faces struggles he had never previously experienced. Upon landing a small job, he becomes smitten with a troubled boy and a romance begins. (Los Angeles Film Festival)
