Suellen works at a toll booth on the outskirts of São Paulo. Her son Antonio films himself flamboyantly on social networks. Faced with mockery and pressure from her colleagues about her son's homosexuality, this single mother is distraught. To pay for a conversion therapy offered by a guru pastor, she looks for money by any means necessary and finds herself helping criminals to target the rich suburbanites who pass through her tollbooth. Set against a bleak industrial landscape, Pedágio's various narrative threads weave a meditative portrait of family love, class struggle, religious pressure and queer emancipation with humour and gravity.
