Zones of social abandonment are emerging everywhere in Brazil's big cities - places like Vita, where the unwanted, the mentally ill, the sick, and the homeless are left to die. This title centers on a young woman named Catarina, increasingly paralyzed and said to be mad, living out her time at Vita.
