Sinopse
Often regarded as a marginal society, the recycling underworld of São Paulo is the backdrop to the touching story of Claudinês and his family. 'Hauling' reveals the day-to-day life of this man, a father to over 27 children, and of many others who make their living out of collecting and recycling material that others have thrown out. In order to do this, Claudinês routinely visits the downtown neighborhood of Santa Ifigênia in his lime-green VW bus. A regular visitor, he is well known by the local shopkeepers and residents, who often donate not only the usual cardboard and plastic, but also other used goods, such as computer which he restores and sells. They serve as a symbol of the thousands of people in BR who resort to recycling in order to make a living and suffer prejudice as a result. This film shows us the intimate workings of that universe in an effort to stimulate recycling and to expose these individuals as followers of a noble and respectable way of life.
