The Secret Diary of an Exchange Student

Barbara (Larissa Manoela), a hardworking but low-earning 23-year-old Brazilian still living with her mom, dreams of traveling in THE SECRET DIARY OF AN EXCHANGE STUDENT. When an opportunity to do an exchange program as an au pair presents itself, she convinces best friend Taila (Thali Lopes) to travel to upstate New York with her. This is also where her new "friend with benefits," flight attendant Brad (David Sherod), lives. Barbara is placed with strict single-mom lawyer Sheryll (Kathy-Ann Hart) who works her hard, while Taila, who speaks no English, moves in with an oddball older couple looking for a replacement for their grown missing daughter (Maiara Walsh). Their employee Lucas (Bruno Montaleone), who was born in Brazil and speaks Portuguese, helps serve as a translator and becomes a new love interest for Barbara.
