Street Lovers

Directed by Eunice Gutman

With Gabriela Leite

‘Amores de Rua’ questions the attitude towards sexuality espoused by a society in which sex workers fight for the right to citizenship. The film travels through Vila Mimosa, Praça Mauá and erotic nightclubs frequented by all genders, where performers mouth along to camp hits. The film presents a discussion about sexuality based on testimonies from sex workers, transgender women and representatives of associations including Euridice Coelho (then president of the Association of Prostitutes of Rio de Janeiro) and Gabriela Silva Leite (from the organisation Vida Prostituição, Direitos Civis e Saúde).
