Good Manners (2017 film)

Good Manners (Portuguese: As Boas Maneiras) is a 2017 dark fantasy horror film written and directed by Juliana Rojas and Marco Dutra, starring Isabél Zuaa, Marjorie Estiano, Miguel Lobo and Cida Moreira.

A sympathetic Clara guides her through the pain, and Ana decides to hire her as a live-in housekeeper and future nanny.

Clara runs away and tries to abandon the baby, but changes her mind on the latter upon hearing the child's cries and decides to raise him herself, naming him Joel as Ana wished.

The next morning (as Joel began to transform while arguing with her) Clara reluctantly admits that Ana is his birth mother, but insists that she does not know who his father is.

Joel decides to search for his father, the only clue being a receipt from a shopping mall where Ana bought shoes.

Clara injects the landlady with an anasthetic and then plans to run away with Joel the next day, but because he does not fully remember what he did in his wolf form he locks her in the Little Bedroom in a fit of confusion and anger.

Joel tries to attend a dance with his classmate Amanda later that night but quickly realizes what he really is, and begs her to leave before he once again turns.

With a lullaby Ana sang earlier in the film, Clara manages to tame Joel so that he does not attack her.
