Synopsis<\/strong>
\nStoplights are hell for the people forced out of the countryside to beg in the city. One of them, Raul, a recycler alienated through his desire for absolute freedom and drugs, is set on using his cleverness to control the red traffic lights so that the street artists and vendors working at the lights can perform longer. This resembles his chaotic existence which turns into an ode to anarchy, despair and insanity.<\/p>\n

Director\u2019s note<\/strong>
\nI always insist, when introducing this film, that it is not political. It is not an attempt to redeem or explain the Third World to the First. I am neither an anthropologist nor a social worker. I am drawn to stories through revelations; I discovered a kind of social pyramid that existed among people living on the street, that reproduces the one familiar to us, with all its easily identifiable strata. I don\u2019t feel I approached it with an apologetic or pitiful eye, especially as I began my discovery of this world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
