As Belas Cores do Nascer do Sol

In an urban reality seen only in black and white, a boy from a conservatory works alone in the school's abandoned fine arts department. Until the boy is accused of schizophrenia by the institution, for gradually starting to see colors and act outside the norm, because he is an artist.

Directed by Rodrigo Bortoluzzi, As Belas Cores do Nascer do Sol leans on a strong ensemble — Antonio Haddad, Susana Ribeiro, Isadora Castro — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2023.
