Two Summers starts like a typical teen comedy, with two horny adolescent males plotting, somewhat awkwardly, to meet girls while at the beach on vacation. One of the two friends, Chico, actually manages to lose his virginity to a somewhat older young woman who then disappears. When she resurfaces, Chico is suddenly faced with the consequences of his fling. From a simple story, Furtado crafts an absorbing drama on sexual ethics, gender and class in contemporary Brazil.
