Fabio is a hustler who works the streets of Rio and he meets Eduardo who is much older and also a writer. They start a relationship but have issues around the use of protection, commitment and choices of friends let alone 'career'.
Now that is about it, the subject of STI's is dealt with in an interesting way and there are side issues with one of Fabio's friends. However, not a lot happens here. It is a small budget affair – filmed in real apartments etc – and some of the shots were really tasteful but that can not detract from the glaring lack of a real plot. The characters are actually acted fairly well and there is a genuine feeling of warmth here but that of itself is not really enough.
This is not a keeper as such – you may wish to rent as I did but there is very little here to make you a fan. Also very little in the form of 'bedroom action' if that is your thing, so not one I can really recommend unless you have to see everything 'gay' related that comes out and you may find something to like here.
