Fresh out of juvenile prison, 18-year-old Wellington (Joao Pedro Mariano) finds himself at a crossroads; abandoned by his parents, the wide-eyed young man finds solace in the arms of others. On an evening out with his rowdy group of queer and non-binary friends, Wellington crosses paths with Ronaldo (Ricardo Teodoro), a hunky, charismatic hustler more than twice his age. Bathed in the flickering glow of a neon-lit porn cinema, their first meeting is sensuous and erotic, with an edge of danger.

"In cinema, three elements can move: objects, the camera itself and the audience's point of attention," Drew McClellan says to the crowd before showing an example on the projector screen. The clip is a memorable scene from Jordan's Peele's 2017 film, "Get Out," when the protagonist (Daniel Kaluuya) goes out for a late-night smoke and sees the groundskeeper sprinting toward him - in the direction of the camera and the viewer - before abruptly changing direction at the last second.
