"Adeus, Pai" starring Jose Afonso Pimentel

Jose Afonso Pimentel stars in "Adeus, Pai" a beautiful coming-of-age film from Portugal. Filipe (Pimentel) has never spent any time with his father. He has never gone fishing. He has never played catch. He has never been on vacation. His father has never entered his bedroom, even when he was sick. Then one day in the middle of his thirteenth year, Filipe's father enters his room and tells him that they are going on vacation.

While on vacation, Filipe meets a girl that he falls in love with. That, along with the girl's 14 year old brother teaching him about sex, leads Filipe to begin questioning his father about all the things he doesn't understand about sex, including asking about his parents' own lovemaking; much to his father's consternation.

A superbly done film. Viewer discretion is advised: brief nudity and language.
