Testimonials by Lauro Nascimentos, Eleonora Menicucci, João Silvério Trevisan, Henrique Magalhães and popular people about conflicts involving affection between people of the same sex.

Gadanho

The condition of social exclusion of the hundreds of people who live off the garbage of the Varadouro Municipal of João Pessoa. Figueiredo's speech about images of children disputing garbage with vultures. Music by Villa-Lobos and Piazzola contrasting with the routine of the garbage dump. Statement of a resident who returns to the place after 12 years in Rio, outraged with the requirement of a card for those who pick up the garbage. A sociologist speaks, trying to explain the situation of the garbage dumps based on the workers' struggle for better salaries, flattened "in more than 70%" since 1964.
