After being released from a juvenile detention centre, 18-year-old Wellington (Baby) finds himself alone and adrift on the streets of São Paulo, without any contact from his parents and lacking the resources to rebuild his life. At a porn cinema he encounters Ronaldo, a mature sex worker, who teaches him new ways of surviving. Gradually, their working relationship becomes a tumultuous passion...
Screening as part of LGBTQ+ History Month: Telling Stories, this drama explores trials and tenderness on the streets of São Paulo.
The film will be followed by a discussion in the Cafe Bar hosted by Gut Level’s QTIBPOC (Queer, Trans, Intersex, Black & People Of Colour) Cinema Club. While this discussion is open to everyone who attends the screening, we invite people to be aware of the privileges they hold when taking part in a space hosted by Queer Global Majority individuals.
