I’m in the mood to watch something like Pizza Birra Faso. While it might not be considered a coming of age film, it’s good for me because it shows a group of teens on an adventure and they all learn different things. What’s a similar film?

"O ano em que meus pais saíram de férias" (The year my parents went on vacation) - 2006
The movie takes place in 1970, 6 years after the military coup in 1964, the main character is Mauro, a 12 year old that goes to live with his grandfather after "his parents went on vacation" in a very sudden way. In reality his parents had to flee the country for they were being persecuted by the dictatorship. His grandfather passes away soon and he goes to live with a neighbour called Shlomo, an old jewish man.
I'm not Brazilian, but maybe Cidade de Deus (city of god). It was an excellent movie, even if though it was in subtitles.
Hoje eu quero voltar sozinho
This is such a beautiful movie
I love these kind of movies, some of my brazilian favorites:
“Desenrola”
“As melhores coisas do mundo”
“Confissões de adolescente”
“Meu tio matou um cara”
Hoje eu quero voltar sozinho.
A recent great film would be I Am No Longer Here
Good choice
Yo, Adolescente
Los paranoicos - Gabriel Medina and Medianeras - Gustavo Taretto are great movies
Im not Mexican but I think "Y tu mamá también" is one of the best coming of age films that I have ever seen
