Netflix has lifted the lid on a quartet of new movies out of Brazil.

There will also be an adaptation of Valter Hugo Mãe’s novel The Son of a Thousand Men hitting Netflix screens. Starring Rodrigo Santoro in the lead role, the film is directed and written by Oscar-nominated Daniel Rezende. It follows Crisóstomo, a lonely and childless fisherman who dreams of becoming a father. He meets Camilo, an orphaned boy, and decides to raise him, creating an unconventional family.

Filmed in Búzios, Rio de Janeiro, and in small towns in the countryside of Bahia, Barry Company and Biônica Filmes are on production duty. +
