(Diz a ela que me viu chorar)
Maíra Bühler | Documentary

2019 | 82 minutes | Brazil

A gritty observation of precarious romance, debauchery, and heartbreak between addicts living in a São Paulo hotel.

Synopsis

The Dom Pedro hostel in São Paulo houses 107 homeless residents from marginalized communities, many of whom are struggling with the ever-present threat of eviction. With their own personal stories full of loneliness and heartbreak, these are individuals who nevertheless fight for life in solidarity.
