"Jaime (1999)" Portugal film with subs



"Jaime (1999)", a masterpiece of the Portuguese cinema, is a must-see film for every fan of the coming-of-age genre. Jaime is a 13-year-old kid who lives in a suburban area in Oporto, Portugal, with his mother, her boyfriend, and his two younger sisters. The years are difficult, and many children are forced to labor by their parents in order to contribute to the family budget across the country. Although child labor is prohibited in the country, most families are on the verge of bankruptcy and are forced to resort to desperate tactics. Businesses are also prepared to take in and exploit children since they may demand as much as adult workers while paying lower wages and paying no taxes to the government. Jaime lives with his mother because his parents are divorced, but no one is pressuring him to work, unlike some of his classmates. Despite this, he sneaks out each night to work at a nearby bakery and earn money in the hopes of bettering his life and reuniting with his mother and father.
Language: Portuguese. Subtitles: English, German, French, Spanish, Japanese.
