In the sterile confines of a motel room, Silas' camera bears witness to a forbidden rite. A young girl, 'menina' no more, barters her innocence for carnal knowledge. She's 'novinha', yet her eyes spark with a hunger that belies her years. As she mounts her lover, the camera captures her raw, unbridled passion, the motel's generic decor a stark contrast to the primal dance unfolding. Silas' lens is an accomplice, immortalizing her transition from girl to woman in the most intimate, explicit way.
