Wellington, soon nicknamed Baby (João Pedro Mariano, pictured left), has just gotten out of juvie. His parents have vanished, so he gloms onto Ronaldo (Ricardo Teodoro, right), a middle-aged hustler who becomes at times a surrogate father, a boyfriend, a business partner, and a pushy boss, pulling Baby deeper into the shadowy life he inhabits. The relationship is many layers of complicated, with other connections pulling Baby towards his past.
The sex scenes are pretty steamy, but the real action is in the kissing scenes, with palpable passion bursting off the screen. The story is rich and compelling, with plenty of colorful characters, good and bad, to hold your interest. Definitely a must see.
