Scenes
Pixote (Fernando Ramos Da Silva) is a 10-year-old Rio de Janeiro street youth who is shown pissing into a toilet in one scene. This scene is apparently censored in some versions, to only show Pixote from behind. After he is done a woman sits down to pee, and she leaves blood in the toilet as a result of having just aborted a fetus.
