Deraldo, a folk poet from Brazil's Northeast, steps into the roaring chaos of São Paulo, determined to survive solely on his verses and pamphlets. His fragile, ink-stained world shatters when he is mistaken for a faceless factory worker—an immigrant accused of murdering his boss during a corporate ceremony. Suddenly, the man who traded in metaphors must navigate a concrete labyrinth where identity is a commodity, and poetry offers little shield against a machinery of mistaken accusations and bureaucratic absurdity.
