Querô is a 2007 Brazilian drama film directed by Carlos Cortez and starring Maxwell Nascimento, Leandro Carvalho, Eduardo Chagas, Milhem Cortaz and Nildo Ferreira.

The film is based on the 1976 novel Uma Reportagem Maldita - Querô by Plínio Marcos,[2] which he subsequently adapted into a play.

Out of jail, Querô finds support in Gina (Claudia Juliana), which leads him to an Evangelical Church, where he falls for the pastor's niece, Lica (Alessandra Santos).

However, the boy lives in a world marked by determinism, making impossible for him to escape from marginality.
