The Son of a Thousand Men 2025

The Son of a Thousand Men (O Filho de Mil Homens), released in 2025, is a poignant Brazilian drama directed by Daniel Rezende (Bingo: The King of the Mornings) and adapted from the acclaimed novel of the same name by Valter Hugo Mãe. The film stars Rodrigo Santoro as Crisóstomo, a lonely fisherman in a coastal village who, yearning for fatherhood and connection, constructs an unconventional family by taking in Camilo (Miguel Martines), an orphaned boy. This "invented" family expands to include other societal outcasts, including Isaura (Rebeca Jamir) and Antonino (Johnny Massaro), weaving a narrative that blends magical realism with deep emotional themes of belonging, acceptance, and the idea that true family is defined by love rather than blood. Celebrated for its lush cinematography by Azul Serra and its delicate, humanistic storytelling, the film premiered at the São Paulo International Film Festival in October 2025 before its global streaming release on Netflix in November 2025.
