Baby

For English see below

À sa sortie d’un centre de détention pour mineurs, Wellington se retrouve seul et à la dérive dans les rues de São Paulo, sans nouvelles de ses parents et sans ressources pour commencer une nouvelle vie. Il fait la rencontre de Ronaldo, un homme mûr qui lui enseigne de nouvelles façons de survivre. Peu à peu, leur relation se transforme en passion conflictuelle.

Interdit aux spectateurs de moins de 18 ans

After he’s released from a juvie, eighteen-year-old Wellington finds himself in the middle of the busy São Paulo – with no family support, no money, and no clue what to do next. His situation changes when he meets Ronaldo, an older guy who makes his living as a sex worker. While the inexperienced Wellington is trying to figure out his place in the world of adults, Ronaldo’s already got his tried and tested ways to keep afloat. A peculiar bond develops between the men, something much more complicated than just mere love. But will it be enough for them to be happy? Marcelo Caetano’s second film examines the numerous layers of human relationships and the struggles of underprivileged queer people who often need to resort to illegal activities to survive. Baby premiered in Cannes' Semaine de la Critique, snagging the Louis Roederer Foundation Award for rising stars, and later won the Best Latino American Film Award at the San Sebastian International Film Festival.
