Fabio brought a lot of his experience as a Brazilian in New York.
The film is about revenge in a divided world where faith in institutions has been lost, Belmonte said.
It also deals with immigration, relations between the Americas and, yes, it talks about family.
He has also been a judge on the Brazilian edition ofThe Masked Singer.
We got to know each other well and established a creative partnership.
After the series, we thought a lot about working together again, but in a more intimate setting.
Now, there is also the challenge of acting in a language that is not his own.
Filming onEm Suas Maos is set for later this year.
