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.

What people say

Thiago Guimarães4.5

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.
