A🇧🇷, 47 follows young, queer Brazilian-Canadian Cauã as he hooks up with and becomes romantically involved with a man more than twice his age, who is also Brazilian, and shares the same name as Cauã’s absent father. As their relationship progresses, Cauã finds himself in increasingly difficult states of mind and memories, but can’t get himself to cut ties with the man. A🇧🇷, 47 explores fatherlessness, grief, identity, love—or rather, the idea of it—and trauma.
