Sócrates is a young man whose mother dies in the first minutes of the film. Rent is due, his mom's employer won't give him a job, and he has nothing to eat. On top of all that, he's only fifteen and has nowhere at all to go. The social worker designated to help Sócrates can only think of family as the solution to his problems. But for a queer kid like Sócrates, family is not a solution at all but a source of abuse and confusion. Alexandre Moratto's film is a sad kind of odyssey, where we follow Sócrates as he figures out what to do and becomes increasingly desperate. I really, really liked this movie.
