On a little traffic island on the streets of São Paulo, a homeless man writes poetry everyday, hoping to publish a book one day. It took just one person to change his life forever.
Raimundo Arruda Sobrinho was homeless in São Paulo, Brazil, for nearly 35 years, and became locally known for sitting in the same spot and writing every day.
In April 2011, he was befriended by a young woman named Shalla Monteiro.
Impressed by his poetry and wanting to help him with his dream of publishing a book, she created a Facebook Page to feature Raimundo's writing at http://facebook.com/ocondicionado
Neither could have expected what happened next.
This short film uses footage from a documentary about Raimundo shot in São Paulo in 2011 and 2012, along with interviews and scenes filmed in Goîana, Brazil, in January 2014.
