São Paulo is one of the world’s biggest cities and it has had a history of assimilation and fusion of several ethnicities and cultures. But did this miscegenation process happen free from conflicts and contradictions? Which were the challenges forced upon these people in their integration process? The film revisits these questions by interviewing migrants, immigrants and their descendants, who share their stories and experiences. People of several ethnicities that came to São Paulo for many different reasons – leaving behind their families, friends, culture, possessing and everything else they knew – and that are all “Paulistanos” today. This film was commissioned for the "6 milliard's d'Autres" project, an initiative of The Good Planet Organization.
