Where's the diva in you? 'Confessions of an Invisible Girl,' new Netflix Brazilian Film, gets its official trailer and key art

São Paulo, August 26, 2021 - Why is it so difficult to be a normal person with friends? That's the million dollar question for Tetê (Klara Castanho) in Confessions of an Invisible Girl, a new film that debuts on September 22, only on Netflix. Based on the fun best seller Confissões de uma garota excluída, mal-amada e (um pouco) dramática written by Thalita Rebouças, the film set in Rio de Janeiro tells the story of a girl who, at 16, doesn’t feel accepted at school or even at home. 

When Tetê's unemployed parents need to move to her grandparents' house, the teenager is forced to start over at a different school. She’ll try everything not to be bullied again and, who knows, perhaps even make friends and have a social life. The popular girls Valentina (Júlia Gomes) and Laís (Fernanda Concon) won't make it easy for her, but the equally invisible Davi (Gabriel Lima) and Zeca (Marcus Bessa) may become her allies and even help pave the way for crushes Erick (Lucca Picon) and Dudu (Caio Cabral).

At home, the daily routine of living with her parents and her loving but somewhat peculiar grandparents  won't make the protagonist's life any easier. Tetê’s comic - or tragicomic? -  family is played by a strong cast starring Júlia Rabello, Stepan Nercessian, Rosane Gofman and Alcemar Vieira. The new home, friends (or lack thereof), crushes, social pressures, some awkward situations and self-love all become challenges for this girl who just wants to be herself.

Produced by Panorâmica for Netflix, Confessions of an Invisible Girl is directed by Bruno Garotti (Rich in Love), the name behind teenage successes in Brazilian cinema. The script was written by Bruno, Thalita Rebouças (Double Dad), Flávia Lins e Silva and Christiana Oliveira. The production is by Mara Lobão and Rodrigo Montenegro, with executive production by Vanessa Jardim and Augusto Medeiros.
