If This Street Were Mine - Movies | Art-kino Croatia

In the center of Rio de Janeiro, far away from the typical postcards of the “Marvelous City”, a small street reveals a different city. Cristina and Romeu are homeless; he lives on memories of a glorious past; she denounces the misery that surrounds them. Careca is a mystical car parker who summons his saints asking for energy and protection. Custódio resists an eviction threat. All four characters share the same street in central Rio de Janeiro, unveiling their survival practices in a city in decline, whilst awaiting changes whose outcomes are uncertain.
