Plot

The story involves an adult man's recollection of a short period in his life in 1937.

On the eve of key political change in Brazil, a twelve-year-old boy is sent to live in a bordello. The bordello's owner, the favorite woman of an important politician, is also the child's mother. In those hours, he discovers his own sexuality.

Cast

Controversy

The movie is considered controversial by some because it contains two scenes where the libertine character played by Xuxa has a sexual encounter with a 12 year old boy.[5]
