You can watch this short film from 2018 on Vimeo for about $4 USD. Here’s the synopsis:

Thirty-year-old Ursinho (Teddy Bear), an introverted mulatto who lives with his disabled father in a favela, drags his excess weight around like a burden. He likes to hang out in Point 202, a gay sauna in Rio where taxi boys (garotos de programa) strictly reserve themselves for wealthy clients. While cleaning the apartment of an elderly man in Copacabana, he discovers a beautiful young man who is fast asleep. He can't get the vision of this alabaster body out of his mind.
Subtitles in English.
