ser gay é complicado, ser fudido é complicado e viver no capitalismo sendo fudido complica pra caralho as nossas relações. "baby" tem muito em comum com "'corpo elétrico", não só por ambos terem o mesmo diretor, mas pela captura do cotidiano queer urbano em meio às mazelas e violências que marcam nossas escolhas. vejo em baby um filme mais maduro, onde as intersecções de classe e raça são mais marcadas, mais complicadas e mais interessantes. em meio à dureza da vida, em meio a escolhas que não parecem escolhas, o prazer persiste como algo inerentemenente humano. lindo filme.
After being released from a juvenile detention center, Wellington 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. During a visit to a porn theater, he encounters Ronaldo, a mature man, who teaches him new ways of surviving. Gradually, their relationship turns into a conflicting passion, oscillating between exploitation and protection, jealousy and complicity.
