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.
