	Seventeen years old Jean is growing up in the elite district of Rio, with its private schools, drivers and housekeepers. While he tries to escape from his over-protective parents, they keep their approaching bankruptcy secret. This beautifully shot and naturally played coming-of-age film provides a clear picture of class differences and racism in Brazil. Casa Grande is Fellipe Barbosa's feature film debut following his documentary film Laura in 2011.
