From the perspective of people who live in Complexo do Alemão, the largest favela in Rio de Janeiro, Direito de Sonhar reveals how the absence of the State in Brazil, violence, racism and difficult access to education and culture affect lives and dreams of children and young people and what alternatives they create to overcome these challenges, which reveals their fight for their rights as citizens. The documentary shows the difficult reality of Brazil's favelas, unknown to most of the world.

Six men with an ideal: to use a camera as an instrument to denounce and expose the evils of Brazilian prisons. Life inside makes the imagination of these ex-convicts take flight beyond the bars, using art as a potential instrument for social reconstruction. A docu-drama which addresses racism, prison, torture and the violation of civil rights while also crying for liberty, justice and the right to dream.
