BABY

Released from juvenile detention, Wellington wanders the streets of São Paulo. In a metropolis dominated by violent contrasts, he finds an unexpected refuge in the enigmatic Ronaldo, who works as a prostitute in a porno theater. They begin a tense and troubled relationship, where acts of protection are combined with exploitation. And jealousy intertwines with complicity, laying bare the conflicts they both must resolve. Created by Marcelo Caetano (who already brought Corpo Elétrico to Lovers) in the difficult years of Bolsonarism, it was presented to great acclaim at the Cannes Semaine in 2024.
