Story
A man remembers forty-eight crucial hours in his life when, as a child, he visited his mother, the favorite woman of an important politician, in a bordello owned by him, right before some important political changes in 1937 Brazil. In those hours, he discovers his own sexuality.
Summary
In the pulsating heart of 1937 Brazil, a child's life intersected with power and passion during a brief but transformative sojourn in São Paulo. Twelve-year-old Hugo, returned to his mother Anna by his grandmother, found himself not just in the arms of his long-lost parent, but also ensconced within the lavish bordello owned by Osmar, the state's most influential politician—a man who harbored more than political sway over Anna. As the nation teetered on the precipice of change, Hugo's world expanded beyond the confines of his young years. Within these forty-eight crucial hours, he would witness not only the raw exercise of power but also the delicate dance of desire, awakening him to his own burgeoning sexuality amidst the opulent decadence of Osmar's domain.
