Description: It’s amazing what you can find in other people’s trash if you know what to look for. This short documentary takes us to a poor area of Sao Paulo, Brazil, where one resourceful man, who is completely obsessed with the magic of cinema, makes the most of his surroundings, finding the materials to create miniature movie shows for the local children. He has turned his modest garage into a gathering place for the children of the village who experience the joy of cinema (and popcorn) free of charge.
