[CAST] Un documental sobre Rocinha, durante el día, la favela más conocida y poblada de Brasil. Un viaje dentro del suburbio a través de algunos de sus habitantes más notables. Una visión alternativa de su lucha diaria contra los estereotipos de la pobreza, las drogas y la violencia.

DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT:

I wanted to show the other side of a favela, the daytime, the real life, not the already stereotype image of a favela, which is drugs and crime, but focus on the creative working men, 98% of the real inhabitants.
