O Terceiro Travesseiro (en|The Third Pillow) is a Brazilian fiction feature film based on Nelson Luiz de Carvalho's popular novel of the same name. It was produced by Letícia Segabinazi Dumas da Silva with a screenplay by Daniel Moreno Sant'Anna. This film focuses on the development of the relationship between teenage boy Marcus and his best friend Renato.
During the adolescence, two teenage friends find themselves in love and have to face the prejudices of a conservative society.
The score for O Terceiro Travesseiro was composed by Juliano Silva, with the rest of the soundtrack chosen by music supervisor Sandra Roccove.
The project was in development for approximately three years, during which time a screen adaptation that differed significantly from the novel was written. De La Jara acquired the rights to the novel after three years of the project's stagnant development.
