Love, Painted in Rio: A Clean Brazilian-American Romantic Comedy - Travel Vlogger × Artist - Slow Burn - Wholesome Love

What happens when a bubbly travel vlogger crashes her drone into the balcony of a quiet Rio artist-and ends up entangled in his carefully sketched routines? Love, Painted in Rio is a heartwarming, clean romantic comedy about boundaries, creativity, and discovering love in the quietest places.

Elena Oliveira, a Brazilian-American vlogger, fills her days with edits, uploads, and deadlines. Rafael Duarte, a reserved painter in Rio, prefers sketchbooks to spotlights and silence to subscribers. When Elena's drone crash-lands on his balcony, her apology turns into an unexpected deal: one week of company, rent-free, with rules to keep their worlds balanced. What begins as a playful arrangement becomes late-night teas, sketch sessions, family dinners, and a seaside mural painted together.

But when one of Elena's videos goes viral, curiosity about the "mystery artist in linen sleeves" threatens the privacy they've built. Elena must choose between protecting Rafael's boundaries or giving her sponsors the reveal they're demanding.
