Abstract

Comparative study between Cyro Martins’ novel Um menino vai para o colégio and the namesake’s short film by Liliana Sulzbach and Marcello Lima, focusing on how each one approaches the end of the character’s childhood, while it signalizes the start of a new stage of Carlos’ life. Reflecting about the representation of this traditional break between boy and man is the theme of this essay, which also tries to think about the regional expression of childhood.
