“My mission, besides being Estamira, is to reveal the truth”
In the periphery of Rio de Janeiro, the 63 yr old Estamira is a happy and charismatic woman that has been working for more than twenty years in the city dump. Schizophrenic, but very charismatic, she’s the leader of a small community of old people with a very lyrical and philosophical attitude towards life.
