Here the Whole Time is a Netflix teen romance about insecure Felipe and his neighbor crush Caio sharing a house for two weeks. Expect first kisses, coming-out tension, party wine and frequent teen profanity, including f-words. Bullying and homophobia come up in conversation rather than graphic scenes. A warm pick for teens exploring identity and first love, best watched with a trusted adult nearby.
Uplifting themes
Self-acceptance, honesty and never giving up on yourself hold the story together Felipe and Caio learn to speak up and support each other with genuine care as they grow
Story (may spoil tone)
