Introduction

Wellington returns to São Paulo, following a stint in juvenile prison, only to discover his parents have disappeared. Adrift and unsure of his next step, he meets Ronaldo, an older hustler. The two embark on a fluid, passionate and caring relationship, allowing Wellington, selfname Baby, to experience different sides of hustling life and, more importantly, to redefine what ‘family’ means to him.
