After his mother’s sudden death, 15-year-old Socrates must learn how to fend for himself on the mean streets of São Paulo. Without the income to cover the rent for his run-down apartment, Socrates sees no way out. When he lands a small construction job, he meets a troubled young man and they enter into a relationship that simmers, then smolders, and then takes a consequential turn. Co-written, produced and acted by young people from low-income communities in Brazil, this is a profound study of grief, determination and acceptance, anchored by an extraordinary breakthrough performance from Christian Malheiros in the title role.
