[edit] Plot

Involves an adult man's recollection of a short period in his life in 1937. As a young man, he visits his mother, the favorite woman of an important politician, in a bordello owned by her, right before key political changes in Brazil. In those hours, he discovers his own sexuality.

[edit] Controversy

The movie was considered somewhat controversial by some because it contains two brief scenes of sensuality between the libertine character played by Xuxa and that of the young man. Although excerpts of the movie may be found on some international sites, it has been carefully excised from most by public relations agents of the entertainer. Thus, the sensual scenes are referred to as "censored".
