The Lokal’s World - The life of a Brazilian Camelô

The Lokal’s World - The life of a Brazilian Camelô is a daily journey that flows on the tracks from the outskirts to Central do Brasil. At the center of this story there is Lokal, a young street vendor with a difficult past, who despite life's labors never stop smiling. Around him a universe made up of traveling companions takes shape: salesmen, cosplayers, musicians and artists who transform the train into a moving stage.
The documentary follows this invisible community that resists and dreams, bringing hope to a transit space that becomes home, work and refuge. On a cyclical day that seems never-ending, the Lokal's smile illuminates the harshness of the journey and gives back dignity to those who, despite living on the margins, continue to chase something
better.
