Helen
Director
Helen lives in a cortiço with her grandmother, Mrs. Graça, who supports the family with informal jobs, such as selling skewers. Still very naive, her biggest concern is buying her grandmother a birthday present: a makeup kit. The girl is going to bend over backwards to get the money and her search will reveal the daily life of those living in tenements, outlining a collective story from the network of relations that the girl establishes.
Férias
Director
The daily lives of residents of the traditional neighborhood of Bixiga in São Paulo from the point of view of children. Living in unhealthy conditions and often without a family structure, the vacation period is perhaps the most precarious and problematic, as these children are left alone while their parents, who are not on vacation, go to work. From street games, cell phone games or walks in the neighborhood, these children will show that the Bixiga neighborhood is much more complex than you can imagine.
Cylene
Director
The story of Cylene, a housemaid that worked and lived over 18 years at Dona Odette's house.
