About On Behalf of My Son
Vicentina struggles to cope with the death of her son Wesley after a tragic bus accident, in which he was the driver. As the investigation unfolds, evidence suggests that Wesley’s actions may have been suicidal. Vicentina then embarks on a journey to seek out the victims’ families and apologize, while confronting her own grief and uncertainty.
Directed by Gabriel Martins, On Behalf of My Son leans on a strong ensemble — Rejane Faria, Maíra Azevedo, Thalma de Freitas — 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 2026.
