House-warming party

Four women, each from impoverished and hard working childhoods in the fields, leave the countryside and move to the big city in search of a better life. After struggling on the streets of Sao Paulo, they encountered each other and a social/political movement that gave them a strong reason to live. Today they are the leaders of the MSTC (Movement of the Homeless of the Centre of Sao Paulo). This documentary follows the simultaneous mass occupations of a number of empty buildings during one night ("a house-warming party") seen through the eyes of these women.
