Paola is a single mother of four scratching out a living in a favela near Recife, Brazil. After some prior misadventures she has been left with nothing - no home, no food, no money. With ingenuity and perseverance she improves her family's situation and even starts her own business.
Paola is an engagingly philosophical and vibrant soul. Despite being very poor and of the lowest social class in Brazil, she shows none of the defeat that generally clouds people living in harsh deficiency. She enjoys life, and blazes her own trail to better her circumstances.
