Baby
- Marcelo Caetano
- Brazil, France, Netherlands
“Baby” is 18-year-old Wellington’s new persona since he began an exhilarating new life in sex work. After being released from a juvenile detention center to learn that his family has left him behind, he drifts through the streets of São Paulo until catching the eye of Ronaldo. The older man takes Baby under his wing and into his home, teaching him how to be an escort and welcoming him into his queer found family.
The relationship that emerges between Baby and Ronaldo is malleable and complex. Part lovers, part father/son, part boss/employee, it oscillates between caring and volatile. Baby, intoxicated by the freedom and empowerment he finds in sex work, forges out on his own, only to discover the true value of his newfound community. Tender and honest, Baby explores the complexities of queer joy with openness and hope.
