Recalling the films "Sol Sobre a Lama" and "A Grande Feira", which portrayed the living conditions of Bahian society in the 1960s, the scenario was the Feira de Água de Meninos that was set on fire. Today the Feira de São Joaquim and its marketers live situations similar to those of the Cinema Novo films, in parallel they wait with hope for the beginning of the revitalization and expansion of the largest open market in Bahia.
