Details of Soul
Salvador. Brazil. Some "sacizeiros" (as they are called crack users in the Bahia slang) walk and live in the old center of the city. They take refuge for a few hours in abandoned buildings to dry clothes by heavy tropical rains, to relax and to smoke crack. I accompanied the daily life of some of them, trying to tell not crack use but relationship between places and bodies. A history made of details of souls exhausted but still strongly alive.
