Clay Men

Desire and guilt traverse the journey of Pássaro, the only son of the Tamai family, and Ângelo, the youngest son of the Miranda family and Marciano's brother. Living in a small town, Pássaro and Marciano were best friends as children, despite the constant tension that surrounded their neighbors. However, fights between their parents drove them apart and their friendship faded. Years later, Pássaro and Ângelo meet again at a party and become attracted to each other, experiencing a passion that defies prejudice and stigma. The relationship, however, provokes Marciano's anger and hostility and rekindles resentments of the enmity between the families.

Directed by Angelisa Stein, Clay Men leans on a strong ensemble — Gui Mallmann, João Pedro Prates, Alexandre Borin — 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 2025.
