Who occupies our memory for a possible future?
Recovering childhood memories and listening to ancestry are paths of belonging that nature presents for many people: affection and knowledge are capable of pointing to real solutions for the environment, food, housing, health, work, leisure and culture in an urban space.
In São Paulo, on the outskirts of the largest urban center in South America, many people are looking for a reconnection to ancient wisdom, brought from other territories or rescued from the original people before colonization. This is a point of union between voices that work towards the same objective: guaranteeing the right to live with quality in their own territories.
Lia Esperança, a woman who fights for decent housing and healthy food through a community garden. Zeca, an octogenarian retired man who uses his childhood memories of an almost rural city as a support point for lucidity and social activity. Laís Guimarães, a young physical and environmental teacher who uses sailing as a tool to include women and children in the debate on preserving the territory around the Billings Dam: the first urban dam to generate energy for the beginning of the city's industrialization process. Kara Mirim, an elder of the Guarani MByá people who finds in the resumption of the Guarani Mbyá Indigenous territory (Tenondé Porã) the connections to his people's worldview: the bridge to a possible future.
300 km away from São Paulo, on a recently divided farm, a man observes the landscape of what was once the passageway for all those people portrayed.
