Confessions of a Brazilian Call Girl (Portuguese: Bruna Surfistinha – "Bruna Little Surfer Girl") is a 2011 Brazilian drama film directed by Marcus Baldini, based on the novel The Scorpion's Sweet Venom: The Diary of a Brazilian Call Girl by Raquel Pacheco. Starring Deborah Secco and Cássio Gabus Mendes, it was shot in Paulínia and São Paulo.
Raquel is a girl, adopted by an upper-middle-class family, who rebelled at 17 and left her family and studies at a traditional college in São Paulo to become a prostitute, and later call girl. Shortly after starting work, she decided to write a blog about her experiences. Since some clients thought she looked like a surfer she adopted the name "Surfistinha", which means "little surfer girl". This blog became a sensation, and quickly became one of the most popular blogs in Brazil. Becoming famous, her life changed significantly. She went on to be interviewed on Brazilian talk shows similar to Oprah and David Letterman, all the while continuing her blog about her racy exploits.
