Birthright (2024)
Movie
Released
João Cândido Zacharias's Brazilian film, originally titled A Herança, follows Thomas and his partner Beni to the country house he inherits after his mother's death. The aunts' welcome supplies precisely the family belonging he wants. Their unequal responses to that welcome make the property feel less like a gift than a claim on his future.

About Birthright
When he learns of his mother’s death, Thomas returns to Brazil with Beni, his partner, and is told he now owns a country house that used to belong to a grandmother he never met. Curious to connect with his family history, they visit the house and Thomas is welcomed by two aunts that treat him like a long-lost child. As Thomas becomes increasingly enchanted with the place, Beni begins to suspect that something lurks beneath the façade of a quiet country life.
