After being released from a juvenile detention centre, 18-year-old Wellington (Baby) 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. At a porn cinema he encounters Ronaldo, a mature sex worker, who teaches him new ways of surviving. Gradually, their working relationship becomes a tumultuous passion.
Baby is the multi-award winning feature from Marcelo Caetano, the director of Body Electric and TV series Notícias Populares.
