A trip to the mental institution hell. This odyssey is lived by Neto, a middle class teenager, who lives a normal life until his father sends him to a mental institution after finding drugs on his pocket. The marijuana cigarette is just the final drop that exposes the family tragedy.
"Laís Bodanzky's first feature film was a great debut. The movie deals with family problems and the misunderstanding that many parents have with their children, which can lead to much worse adversity. 'Bicho de Sete Cabeças' harshly criticizes outdated psychiatric treatment methods, like electroshock, which causes one of the greatest ruptures in the story. Moreover, the protagonist Rodrigo Santoro is in one of his most notable roles in Brazilian cinema."
