Two Big Elephants

After going through an emotional crisis, due to his work in an ICU during the pandemic, Paulo struggles to move into the apartment he bought with Vinicius, his partner, who is already living there. Paulo asks Vinicius to come back to stay with him, while he tries to recover. However, he discovers that, in turn, Vinicius has the opposite problem - he can no longer sleep in his old apartment. With this impasse established, they still discover other issues that seem to push them away, but Vinicius leaves with the commitment to try to return at night and Paulo with the commitment to start the process of change.

Directed by Leonel Costa, Two Big Elephants leans on a strong ensemble — Pedro Henrique Moutinho, José Netho — 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 screen titles of 2022.
