Pixote: a Lei do Mais Fraco (Portuguese pronunciation: [piˈʃɔtʃi a ˈlej du ˈmajʃ ˈfɾaku], lit. "Pixote (small child): The Law of the Weakest") is a 1980 Brazilian drama film directed by Hector Babenco. The screenplay was written by Babenco and Jorge Durán, based on the book A Infância dos Mortos (The Childhood of the Dead Ones) by José Louzeiro.

It is the chilling, documentary-like account of Brazil's delinquent youth and how they are used by corrupt police and other crime organizations to commit crimes. The film features Fernando Ramos da Silva (who was killed at the age of 19 by Brazilian police in São Paulo) as Pixote and Marília Pêra as Sueli. The plot revolves around Pixote, a young boy who is used as a child criminal in muggings and drug transport.

Plot

After a police round up of street children Pixote is sent to a juvenile reformatory (FEBEM). The prison is a hellish school where Pixote uses glue sniffing as a means of emotional escape from the constant threats of abuse and rape.

Beijo Doce

by: Pixote

Namorar aonde o sol se esconde
E te dar um novo beijo doce
Com sabor de mel, fruta-de-conde
Não há nada melhor nessa vida
Entre o céu e o mar, um horizonte
Pra você e eu, nosso romance
Vendo o outro lado dessa ponte
Teu olhar me seduz mais ainda
Ando louco pra ficar contigo
Eu prometo te amar
Te dar meu paraíso
Poder te dizer
Que tudo que eu mais sonhava nessa vida
Aconteceu
Foi te conhecer
E agora que estamos juntos
Nem pensar em te perder
Só quero saber
Se estar ao meu lado irá te fazer feliz
Eu só sei dizer
Que estou apaixonado
E é tudo que sempre quis
