00:01:50 "TEEN MOTHERS"
00:02:08 LUANA, AGE 15,
00:02:14 - Was it planned?
00:02:17 Planned?
00:02:22 Are your parents alive?
00:02:23 Only my mother,
00:02:25 DR. ELISABETH ROEDER,
00:02:26 What did he die of?
00:02:27 He was a drug dealer,
00:02:31 - What was he?
00:02:32 Oh, drug dealer, I see.
00:02:35 Was he murdered?
00:02:37 Do you live with your mother?
00:02:39 - Four sisters.
00:02:41 We're five girls.
00:02:43 Are you the oldest,
00:02:45 The oldest.
00:02:47 Five.
00:02:55 Like it?
00:03:20 I like this one best.
00:03:26 There are trousers,
00:03:29 I like this one too.
00:03:34 A friend of my mother's
00:03:37 Her daughter is 2 months old
00:03:41 They're in this dream world,
00:03:47 ANTONIZIA, LUANA'S MOTHER
00:03:48 I had her when I was 23,
00:03:52 when she has her first child?
00:03:55 What does she know
00:03:57 His mother even asked me:
00:04:02 A 15 year-old girl having an abortion,
00:04:07 But regrettably that 's what
00:04:10 I told her she's lucky
00:04:13 if I weren't I'd never do that,
00:04:16 I'm a church goer or I'd kick
00:04:21 I hope it 's a boy.
00:04:26 I always wanted a boy.
00:04:49 EVELIN, AGE 13,
00:05:19 It 's great living here...
00:05:21 EVELIN'S MOTHER
00:05:24 But what are we supposed to do?
00:05:27 I can't afford to go somewhere else,
00:05:30 putting our lives at risk,
00:05:35 But Rocinha has been
00:05:39 a lot of peace.
00:05:41 Look at the view.
00:05:53 I still can't believe she's pregnant,
00:05:57 thinking how I wish
00:06:00 hoping for a better future
00:06:02 to finish school,
00:06:06 go to university one day,
00:06:10 she doesn't feel like it.
00:06:13 Her father was very strict
00:06:15 but she kept bugging him,
00:06:18 and they ended up letting her go
00:06:23 And there are all sorts there,
00:06:35 I met him at a party on 1st Street.
00:06:39 up here, we started seeing
00:06:42 And that 's how it started,
00:06:46 He gave me this, when he used
00:06:52 These letters are made out of gold,
00:06:57 Most of the girls only like them
00:06:59 and have guns,
00:07:03 I didn't like him like that...
00:07:05 it was love at first sight
00:07:08 I felt I had to be with him,
00:07:13 he's just really cool.
00:07:16 But he got out, thank god, and now
00:07:20 The drug dealers
00:07:23 they told him that
00:07:27 So I went there with him,
00:07:30 who said okay,
00:08:10 I used to like hanging out
00:08:14 playing with dolls.
00:08:18 We met here in the neighbourhood,
00:08:22 I started noticing her and
00:08:27 EDILENE, AGE 14, 7 MONTHS PREGNANT
00:08:29 so this whole thing
00:08:34 ALEX, AGE 21
00:08:36 I'm very gentle with him
00:08:42 We dated for 6 months, then split
00:08:47 I'm only staying here
00:08:54 Because he's got another
00:09:00 I've never been a father before,
00:09:03 and twice.
00:09:07 It 's not just me in the wrong,
00:09:11 Because she loved me,
00:09:13 and she was playing hard to get,
00:09:17 because of all
00:09:19 I said: "Edilene, come back
00:09:21 I did everything to get her back,
00:09:25 I hounded her and she
00:09:28 working and got another girlfriend
00:09:32 So after a little, while she said
00:09:37 and she was pregnant.
00:09:40 got pregnant,
00:09:48 I dreamed of studying,
00:09:51 and joining the navy.
00:09:53 JOICE, AGE 16, 6 MONTHS PREGNANT
00:09:57 Because they won't
00:10:01 or if you have a child.
00:10:04 I've liked him ever since
00:10:08 He asked my father
00:10:11 But after all this happened,
00:10:15 the other girl also got pregnant.
00:10:17 And then we split up,
00:10:21 I don't know whether it 's
00:10:28 but it sure hurts.
00:10:31 Young kids today, they have
00:10:35 JOICE'S FATHER
00:10:36 The father and mother have
00:10:39 If no one punishes them,
00:10:43 They'll keep doing the same
00:10:46 I was talking to a judge who
00:10:51 It 's a serious matter because
00:10:55 And the law says whether
00:11:01 it was attempted sexual
00:11:12 I have an appointment.
00:11:18 This is your baby's face, see?
00:11:22 The mouth and nose.
00:11:28 Do you already know
00:11:30 No.
00:11:31 A little girl.
00:11:32 - Girl.
00:11:54 I'm working.
00:11:58 Girl... a girl... yes, a girl...
00:12:04 it 's amazing.
00:12:06 Don't be surprised.
00:12:10 Ah, Luana...
00:12:15 Is the baby, all right?
00:12:21 Trust you!
00:12:38 We didn't always have protection...
00:12:42 I used to get condoms from
00:12:46 because they're free,
00:12:49 so we didn't always use them.
00:12:53 JUNINHO, AGE 18 I was the one who
00:12:56 He thought I was crazy...
00:12:59 that I shouldn't be thinking
00:13:02 that it 's not the right time.
00:13:07 So when it happened, it happened.
00:13:10 Neither of us expected it.
00:13:12 And what made you want a child?
00:13:15 I used to look after Talita.
00:13:21 having looked after my sister.
00:13:24 Because she came from the
00:13:27 Iooking after her,
00:13:32 I still have this dream,
00:13:35 before I die this dream will come true.
00:13:39 do comedy, for TV...
00:13:42 and I did these photos
00:13:46 of getting somewhere,
00:13:49 People say I look a bit
00:13:53 here's one as
00:13:57 there's Evelin when she was 3...
00:14:00 there's another one,
00:14:05 Some say: "oh, it 'll change
00:14:09 no one will date you anymore...
00:14:12 but I don't listen to what
00:14:15 I've still got the results
00:14:17 Can I see?
00:14:24 On 23rd October,
00:14:26 to see if it was true...
00:14:27 that 's my birthday,
00:14:31 to his place took him the results.
00:14:32 He was pleased,
00:14:50 I like waking up in the morning,
00:14:57 I sit there listening to them sing,
00:15:03 now I have a son, a wife...
00:15:04 and also because I'm looking
00:15:07 I'm no longer single, when I was
00:15:14 dance funk, mostly funk.
00:15:19 I was a ladies man,
00:15:23 Now, that I've started liking
00:15:30 GEMINI ALEX
00:15:32 It 's my star sign and
00:15:36 The same day I did it she had one
00:15:40 And this baby Edilene is expecting,
00:15:44 which I want to fulfil with her,
00:15:49 MARIA JOSÉ, EDILENE'S MOTHER,
00:15:54 I dreamed of having a betterlife,
00:16:00 I thought I wouldn't get
00:16:02 but my daughter's father was
00:16:07 we had sex and I got pregnant.
00:16:12 But he says he
00:16:14 he says I'm now pregnant because
00:16:17 I did everything to get rid of it,
00:16:21 to get rid of the baby,
00:16:55 Love, I think it 's something you
00:16:59 I mean sometimes I get angry
00:17:05 He wasn't my first man.
00:17:08 To be honest I was
00:17:12 I was curious to see what
00:17:15 On my first time I only used
00:17:18 I never took the pill.
00:17:21 we only used it to start with then
00:17:26 Even so it 's a sort of miracle,
00:17:28 come inside me and nothing
00:17:33 But it 's better like this...
00:17:37 My child can grow up
00:17:40 and we can go out together,
00:17:43 it can go out with me
00:17:48 I think I've still got
00:18:03 JOSÉ GENTIL,
00:18:06 It was a shock for me, because
00:18:09 She's still so small she plays
00:18:12 her bedroom and she'll be combing
00:18:16 She sucks her thumb when
00:18:18 Just a child. If we'd given
00:18:22 a little more love,
00:18:27 I swear she wouldn't.
00:18:29 I'm guilty too.
00:18:32 I told him: "If you want
00:18:34 you've got to
00:18:38 You're putting her life at risk,
00:18:44 This isn't good for us,
00:18:48 because if the worst suddenly
00:18:52 and you're in here with us,
00:18:56 and then what 's going to happen?
00:18:59 shoot my children,
00:19:03 So think about what you're doing.
00:19:51 Juninho, he's shy...
00:19:55 a joker like me,
00:20:00 together with all my sisters
00:20:03 a bunch of clowns,
00:20:07 Sometimes he dresses up as
00:20:11 and the girls dress up as men.
00:20:13 But as soon as my mother arrives,
00:20:17 Juninho goes all quiet.
00:20:20 My mother goes on about
00:20:22 but we don't want to marry.
00:20:24 I don't know...
00:20:28 I don't like the idea,
00:20:33 Things are fine just
00:21:06 Where's granny's tummy?!
00:21:11 Let 's see granny's tummy!
00:21:17 So, I'm there at work
00:21:20 LÚCIA, ALEX'S MOTHER
00:21:22 My God!
00:21:23 I get so anxious,
00:21:27 on the landline or on the
00:21:32 When I heard she was pregnant,
00:21:35 to do the ultrasound.
00:21:37 I cried,
00:21:42 I'm not just a mother-in-law,
00:21:47 because she's so young, so's he.
00:21:49 I was 16 when I had Alex, 16 to 17.
00:21:55 I was also very young when I had
00:21:59 my children, I'm giving my
00:22:13 - Are you staying here?
00:22:16 - Why not?
00:22:20 - Why?
00:22:25 Edilene, look,
00:22:30 Dating you I'd have sex without
00:22:34 - With her too!
00:22:36 - With her too. You told me.
00:22:39 Let me finish!
00:22:41 For ages I had sex with you with
00:22:45 - So what, Chuleco?
00:22:47 So what?!
00:22:52 - It was my bad luck.
00:22:54 It was my bad luck!
00:22:59 I'm not talking to you.
00:23:04 Yeah.
00:23:21 You say you're not
00:23:22 and before long
00:23:27 I don't understand you.
00:23:52 I'm going to wake Evelin,
00:23:57 Went to the party last night.
00:24:00 The party on 1st Street,
00:24:07 She went out at 1 am, with her
00:24:10 they'll be round soon.
00:24:12 Her boyfriend went with her,
00:24:14 if he hadn't gone they would
00:24:17 She said if they didn't go
00:24:18 to see his face again.
00:24:22 I woke up with them arguing.
00:24:25 Teenager stuff.
00:24:29 I don't know if he's in
00:24:40 Evelin!
00:24:43 - What is it?
00:24:46 What 's wrong?
00:24:48 Speak to your mother
00:24:52 Open up!
00:25:06 Oh mom, give me a break!
00:25:07 What 's wrong with you,
00:25:13 That 's terrible,
00:25:15 Well I did, so there!
00:25:17 Hey, get dressed, get up,
00:25:38 Hey, lvan!
00:25:48 What a lot of candles!
00:25:50 And we haven't even
00:26:37 I used to think Luana
00:26:41 more of a teenager.
00:26:44 And suddenly, all at once,
00:26:49 to have this responsibility
00:26:53 and at the same time
00:26:55 wants to swap her mind with
00:26:58 Sometimes I even lose my
00:27:02 because you're talking
00:27:05 who thinks she can answer you
00:27:08 I don't accept that!
00:27:10 I said: "Luana, when the baby is
00:27:14 to get by,
00:27:18 That 's all I ask, a little help.
00:27:30 I'm tired.
00:27:35 I hardly have time for lunch.
00:27:40 I get so tired, sometimes I get
00:27:44 and I never can, an argument
00:27:47 when I finish my day at work,
00:27:53 and not go home,
00:27:57 it 's as if it were no use,
00:28:01 Not all mothers would accept
00:28:05 with a boy in her own house...
00:28:07 feeding them, washing their
00:28:12 usually the daughter who gets
00:28:15 because it 's his, so he should
00:28:17 But I don't want Luana
00:28:42 When these two children are born,
00:28:44 support them.
00:28:48 The money I earn I already give
00:28:52 There's none left for me.
00:28:56 I work here,
00:29:03 I think about when she leaves,
00:29:08 Whenever I get home I try
00:29:12 And the answer is always
00:29:16 She won't change.
00:29:20 The thing she wants me to do to
00:29:27 To let my other child be born
00:29:32 That 's what she wants me to do.
00:30:23 Evelin Rodrigues dos Santos.
00:30:51 You see that, that white ball,
00:30:58 that round white bit is
00:31:02 At the point of the arrow, can you
00:31:08 a white one, black and then
00:31:11 That 's your little
00:31:16 What, were you expecting
00:31:19 so tell your hubby you have
00:31:27 By tomorrow you'll
00:31:31 It 's kicking.
00:31:33 WALFRIDES PEREIRA
00:31:39 - Are you relaxing?
00:31:46 Then when the doctor tells
00:31:53 By tomorrow you'll
00:31:56 God willing.
00:32:04 Jaqueline, are you drinking
00:32:10 Luana, I'm going to need Juninho.
00:32:11 - The fridge!
00:32:33 Wow, Pereira sure
00:32:36 Wesley dropped it
00:32:37 Who asked you to buy
00:32:40 I'm sorry.
00:32:47 Okay.
00:33:18 Here!
00:33:22 - I know what it is.
00:33:25 - Another girl!
00:33:29 Didn't I tell you it was a girl?
00:33:32 To play with Raiane!
00:33:34 It 's so cool.
00:33:37 - That 's the head?
00:33:39 He told me if I took 4 bread rolls,
00:33:42 that would be her weight.
00:34:18 I'm right here, I'm staying
00:35:21 Cute, isn't he?
00:35:41 That 's it. Hold him well up.
00:36:48 Look at all those stretch marks.
00:36:50 Stretch marks, like hell!
00:36:55 Stop!
00:36:58 - You Stop!
00:37:02 Stretch marks!
00:37:09 The navel will puff out.
00:37:11 No it won't, because it 's so deep,
00:37:15 Kids are great, you know,
00:37:19 People who haven't, want kids,
00:37:23 That 's the truth of it.
00:37:25 I'll take him to court
00:37:28 Oh sure, he doesn't work,
00:37:30 So if he's not working he'll
00:37:34 Spend a few days in jail so he
00:37:35 getting girls pregnant.
00:37:39 If he were setting up a home,
00:37:42 the father, that would be okay,
00:37:47 around and all that, but he
00:37:51 He's only a man in
00:37:53 - Shut up!
00:38:10 It 's colic.
00:39:16 Hadn't you heard her yet, grandma?
00:39:21 granddaughter, you see, rejection
00:39:27 The child is hers, don't you
00:39:32 let her be the mother!
00:39:46 I don't really know whether
00:39:49 only after it 's born...
00:39:52 I'll see that it 's mine...
00:39:55 I'll have to take care of it.
00:39:57 keep an eye on Jéssica,
00:40:02 If she's dating she
00:40:05 if a boy comes on to her she's all
00:40:08 My mother is scared of criminals, she's
00:40:12 the criminals
00:40:14 they've no respect.
00:40:17 They used to respect you,
00:40:22 For instance if I walk by and they
00:40:26 and smile, then they
00:40:29 The next time I pass by they grab
00:40:51 I was going to break up with him,
00:40:54 I told him I don't want anything
00:40:57 Because one time
00:41:01 I was pregnant...
00:41:05 he wants to be my boss but
00:41:10 really hard in front of everyone,
00:41:12 I was wearing high heels.
00:41:16 And when I got up he punched
00:41:20 My mother told me, when he
00:41:27 that it was my choice...
00:41:33 is bound to get beaten up,
00:41:38 And I didn't believe her.
00:41:43 What do you regret?
00:41:45 Having gone out with him.
00:41:48 But what was I supposed to do?
00:42:04 I'm leaving!
00:42:06 I'm leaving because he's got
00:42:10 and I don't accept that.
00:42:16 Just to think of her walking down
00:42:23 I asked him if he'd see her
00:42:33 That he wants to
00:42:54 Now she's going I don't know
00:42:58 I feel this emptiness
00:43:02 The only thing I don't want is her
00:43:07 Because I've been acting like
00:43:10 and take responsibility for everything
00:43:15 I've been very hurt by her.
00:43:20 Although I like her...
00:43:31 Are you taking him upstairs,
00:43:35 Takes it with you.
00:43:37 You know the days you have
00:43:40 Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
00:43:42 I know.
00:43:43 - Friday, Saturday and Sunday?
00:43:50 She'll bring him Friday,
00:43:53 It 's going to cost a lot
00:43:55 - Okay.
00:44:34 Jesus is precious to me
00:44:39 Jesus is precious to me
00:44:44 Sinner come into the light
00:44:47 for He came down
00:44:52 You need Jesus
00:44:58 Oh Lord, censure all evil in
00:45:02 save the family, marriages, I deliver
00:45:24 Come on, let 's start,
00:45:32 Mosquito net?
00:45:36 Wrong!
00:45:39 A cot sheet,
00:45:45 My God!
00:45:51 A lotion.
00:45:53 It was you who gave it to me,
00:45:55 It 's so embarrassing!
00:45:58 Juninho hasn't been
00:46:02 Lovely!
00:46:06 How cute!
00:46:11 I want to be a baby!
00:46:54 I like Rocinha because it 's so
00:47:00 places for people to go,
00:47:03 Some people don't like it
00:47:07 but I love the noise.
00:47:13 My mother gets nervous when
00:47:17 Not me, it 's really wild, I start
00:47:38 That 's no good.
00:47:51 This'll have to do.
00:47:57 They're clean.
00:48:31 I've suffered so much,
00:48:36 because of this baby.
00:48:39 it was her choice to leave.
00:48:45 Edilene said she left
00:48:47 I don't think that 's a reason.
00:48:51 Because when a woman likes a man
00:48:55 like me...
00:48:59 I think Edilene pities her mother,
00:49:05 and the mother needs to work,
00:49:08 the woman of the house...
00:49:10 she looked after
00:49:12 and she'll look after this one.
00:49:14 That 's the problem,
00:49:18 I know I told Edilene that I'll
00:49:22 grandson...
00:49:24 and so will Alex, I know R$ 75
00:49:30 - That 's Alex's allowance?
00:49:34 If he earns 2OO it should be
00:49:46 I couldn't wait for the day when
00:49:51 Her birth was rather complicated,
00:49:55 I had no strength, I couldn't
00:49:59 so the doctor had to put his elbow
00:50:03 After she was born I didn't
00:50:05 the only thing I could do was
00:50:08 Nothing else, just gazing.
00:50:15 I hope that,
00:50:18 he'll come to see his daughter.
00:50:21 It 's only normal,
00:50:23 so he'll have to come
00:50:26 Oh, boy!
00:50:29 I can't believe this girl.
00:52:14 It hurts more now.
00:52:23 Mom!
00:52:27 Easy, easy now.
00:52:35 Your mother's right
00:52:42 That 's it.
00:52:56 Oh I'm going to die!
00:52:59 Pull her out, doctor,
00:53:19 I'm taking her now because she
00:53:32 You can't go any further, guys!
00:53:35 ADAPTING NURSING HOME
00:54:35 Today I was asleep when milk
00:54:38 I woke up in the night and
00:54:41 I thought I was dribbling.
00:54:44 Then I saw my blouse was wet,
00:54:49 So much milk coming out of
00:54:55 I don't know, it must be weird
00:54:58 I told my mother,
00:55:00 how are you supposed to hold
00:55:03 I can't wait for it to be born,
00:55:11 Some pregnant women don't
00:55:15 I don't think it 's bad,
00:55:18 They say it bothers them but it
00:55:55 You're tired, it 's lunchtime.
00:56:22 You like her, Paulinha?
00:56:24 Come here, Talita!
00:56:26 Who are all these girls?
00:56:30 Who is it?
00:56:32 You see?
00:56:34 Isn't she cute?
00:57:06 Life is rather difficult now.
00:57:08 When one baby cries,
00:57:10 if one cries the other wakes up.
00:57:13 I have to look after both of them,
00:57:16 So it 's tough.
00:57:20 I'd like to study but it 's
00:57:54 I can't stop him crying.
00:58:00 Not even the other one...
00:58:06 - How old are you now?
00:58:08 Twenty-one.
00:58:09 Twenty-one,
00:58:13 It 's so tough,
00:58:17 I know because I've been through it,
00:58:20 what I lost because
00:58:22 Your fingers will have to dig,
00:58:25 your bloody nails. Because
00:58:27 and the other, if they play
00:58:50 Is he chubbier than his father?
00:58:52 Strong, aren't you?
00:59:16 I can't stand it anymore,
01:00:24 Luana, give her to me!
01:00:34 It 's more work than
01:00:37 Because being a mother is getting
01:00:43 I used to make sports...
01:00:46 I've had to stop going to my
01:00:50 I can only go to school
01:00:52 Last night I couldn't go
01:00:57 Now I see how much I regret
01:01:00 because my mother is doing
01:01:03 and she has run up a lot of
01:01:07 My dream is to get a job,
01:01:10 and take the weight of my
01:01:24 The anger has passed, mostly.
01:01:28 When I see him it
01:01:31 We talk and are
01:01:34 But on the one hand it was good to
01:01:38 said he'd go back to her and
01:01:45 he hasn't gone back
01:01:56 It 's nothing like what
01:02:00 Now it 's no use thinking of myself...
01:02:02 because I've got
01:02:07 I'm fine alone with my daughter,
01:02:11 Just me and her is fine.
01:02:15 And anyway, apart from that
01:02:18 so what 's the point of finding
01:02:20 Just for me to suffer and make
01:03:27 This one's the same.
01:03:30 Red?
01:03:33 Go on, then.
01:03:40 Lower your hand a little.
01:03:48 There, there!
01:03:55 There we are, Mariana,
01:04:02 There, finished!
01:04:04 Pain in the neck!
01:04:16 Cry baby!
01:04:19 Push the dummy out.
01:04:35 She's my doll.
01:04:38 I'm back playing with dolls!
01:05:43 Three months after we
01:05:45 Evelin's boyfriend was killed in
01:05:51 He left a four-month-old daughter
