As a teenager, he visited his mother, the favorite woman of an important politician, in a bordello owned by her, right before key political changes in Brazil. During this time he discovered his own sexuality. Although rather tame by modern standards, the movie was considered controversial because it contains two brief scenes of sensuality between the libertine character played by Xuxa and that of the innocent teenager.
