For all filmmakers and fans of cinema, the Brazilian film “Behind the Sun” will be played at the Millennium Cinema on June 25.

Even June 27 and June 28 dates have been reserved for two other interesting Brazilian films. Bossa Nova, a romantic comedy that tells the story of a group of people in Rio de Janeiro, who bond through love and passion for music, will undoubtedly bring an exciting night to the Agimi Art Center on June 27.
While on June 28, the Brazilian film “Two Sons of Francisco” will be released, an exciting and inspiring drama that tells the true life story of twelve-year-olds from a poor village in Brazil who follow their dream of making a career in the world of music.
