A Happy Family, a film by Raphael Montes, served as inspiration for the author to write a book of the same name. Despite this, the two plots have small differences.
Written by Raphael Montes, the suspense film A happy family will be released in theaters on April 4, telling the story of a couple and twin daughters who live a seemingly perfect life, but which begins to fall apart with the birth of a new baby. This plot was also told in the book of the same name released in March and which quickly occupied second place in the bestseller list. Amazon. The two plots were written by the author who ensured that reading the book first and then seeing the film is the ideal order to enjoy the best of the story.

In an interview with Canaltech, Raphael said that although the movie and the book have the same plot, they complement each other in a certain way and there are details in one that aren’t in the other. Furthermore, by retracing the plot, the audience will be able to notice clues and details that were not immediately noticed. “The second time is different. It’s like you’re seeing a completely different story.”
This is mostly because the film’s script and the book’s plot have some major discrepancies. One of them is that in the book Eva is the protagonist and the narrator, so the entire story is told from her point of view. In cinema, the audience practically becomes spy characters who follow the story closely.
“I’ve had the idea for this story for more than ten years. And, since I always like to experiment, I decided to write the screenplay for the film first. Then, while I was on set as an assistant director, I started writing “The book . It was interesting because I decided to write the book in the first person. In this way I managed to get into Eva’s head, show the reader what she thinks and feels”
The inspiration of Raphael Montes
This predilection for experimentation and also the fact that he is a person attentive to his daily life is what gives Montes the inspiration for his stories. In case of A happy family, the script came about after hearing many of her friends comment on the challenges of motherhood. One of them said that after her drink was born, she wanted to vomit. She listened carefully and put this scene in the book.
The author also surprised himself when he said that he has become a confidant for several fans who seek him out. “People come to tell me their secrets, but I’m a good gossip because I only hear the gossip and then I forget who told it to me.”
Even if you don’t remember the source, these furry stories end up serving as inspiration for your work. In addition to the film set to premiere in 2024, he signs Suicides, Secret Dinner, Perfect Days, A Woman in the Dark AND Good morning, Veronica which he wrote together with Ilana Casoy and which he became a successful Netflix series. Montes is also the author of Fatal beautyHBO Max’s first soap opera set to premiere in the second half of 2024.
The choice of cast
In addition to a sharp script, the choice of cast is also fundamental to the success of the film. In A happy family, Eva lives again with Grazi Massafera, while Vicente remains with Reynaldo Gianecchini. The two were also chosen by Raphael in agreement with José Eduardo Belmonte (German), director. The idea was that they both formed a couple that represented the “perfect family” sold by the Brazilian upper class. Did they succeed? To see what lies behind this family you can see the film from April 4th, exclusively in theaters.
