Original title De Andada

[mlsid]

After living in a slum for decades, what would it be like to move away? In the city of Recife, Brazil, thousands of families have been evicted from slums on riverbanks by the government and offered new houses in return. The film portrays the experiences of four families and the challenges and joys they face, as they are adapting to their new house and life outside the slum.
