5 Houses (2020): cast, story & where to watch
2020 · Film
Released in 2020, 5 Houses is a documentary film directed by Bruno Gularte Barreto, running about 88 minutes.
What it’s about. A portrait of five people who were important to the filmmaker when he was a child. Apart from a few childhood photos, he himself remains out of the picture. He visits a teacher who used to take care of him, and a gay childhood friend. Their combined stories—about exclusion and terror, but also love—paint a portrait of a small, somewhat oppressive community and a boy who lost his sense of security within it, despite the help he was offered. In his wistful look at the past, Barreto transcends his personal experiences; anyone can identify with his bittersweet journey.
