Our take
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 with a trusted adult nearby
Uplifting themes
Self-acceptance, honesty, and never giving up on yourself anchor the story Felipe and Caio learn to speak up and support each other with care
Story (may spoil tone)
An insecure teenager's vacation plans are ruined by an unexpected visitor: his neighbor and school crush who will spend two weeks sleeping at his house. The days that promised peace, tranquility and epic series marathons end up bringing a whirlwind of feelings and unresolved issues.
