Here the Whole Time: Brazilian "Heartstopper," with chub Felipe and athletic Caio trying to figure it out. Plus a hunky bully and dad

Quinze Dias (15 Days), or Here the Whole Time in English, is the Brazilian answer to Heartstopper. The guys even met Kit and Joe when they visited London for the premier of Heartstopper Forever.

Chubby femme boy Felipe (Miguel Lallo) hasn't been in his apartment building's pool since he was bullied as a kid. He's still being bullied by the same four guys, on the street and in class, so he's looking forward to a 15-day holiday, where he can stay in his room and imagine himself as the heroine in old movies.

Nope, not gonna happen. The next door neighbors are going out of town, so their son Caio (Diego Lira) must stay with Felipe and his mum. They are homophobic -- "Miguel doesn't even try to hide it!" -- but there's no other option.

This is the worst! Miguel tells his therapist that they used to be friends, until he stopped going to the pool. Caio grew up to be...ugh...straight, and athletic. He hangs out with jocks, plays soccer, and knows nothing about movie musicals. How can he stand sharing his apartment with someone so crass for 15 whole days?

After an incident involving paint in the pool, Caio defends Miguel from the bullies (including João Pedro Chaseliov, top photo). At the community center, he is ok with taking dancing lessons -- and dancing with Caio. He's even ok with watching a movie musical.

Maybe they could be friends after all.

When Caio invites him to a movie with his friend Beca -- "You'll love her!" -- Miguel imagines a wafer-thin supermodel girlfriend. Surprise -- she's chubby, and a lesbian!

Big reveal: Caio is gay! "You didn't know? Everybody knows."

"He can't be gay!" Miguel exclaims. "He's masculine! He plays soccer! He doesn't know who Lady Gaga is."

The therapist asks if Miguel is going to treat Caio differently, now that he knows that he's gay.

"No...but...things are going to be awkward now." Because athletic, masculine guys don't fall for chubby femme boys. Miguel stalks Caio's social media, and finds that he has "liked" 30 boys, all of them athletic and masculine.

After another bully-rescue, the guys have a rooftop heart-to-heart. Caio reveals that he not out to his parents because they're homophobic. He wants to run away, find a gay mecca somewhere, maybe in São Paulo, but Miguel advises that you can't run away from your problems.

First kiss (actually second, third, and fourth kisses).

More after the break. Caution: A bedroom scene.

A chaste bedroom scene, with no beefcake but a brief shot of Caio's chest as Miguel stares at you-know-what, then mostly closeups of kissing and hands on backs, and they are dating.

Wait -- what does Caio sees in Miguel? They have different tastes and interests. He's willing to try Miguel's stuff, but Miguel doesn't want to try his. I guess his obvious physical attraction is a good start.

Until Miguel catches Caio kissing another guy at a party, and doesn't accept "it meant nothing!" as an explanation. Breakup, running away, reconciliation at the bus station.

All that's left to do is come out to Caio's parents. Mom's reaction is not great: "No! No, no, no no! No, no, no!" She asks her husband (Silvio Guandare, right) to order him to stop "this foolishness," reconsider his decision, turn straight again. But Hubbie is fine with it, and mom finally comes around. The end.

Quinze Dias is the on-screen acting debut for both guys, but they've been involved in the local theater scene in São Paulo, and Miguel has done voice acting for Disney Plus Brazil. His Garotos de Areia (Sand Boys) is upcoming.

They didn't know each other before they were cast in Quinze Dias, but they became good friends on set. "The only difference is, we don't hook up. Maybe..."
