Ines is 21 years old and dreams of becoming an actress. In order to fulfil that dream, she decides to leave Brasília for São Paulo to appear as an extra in a popular soap opera. However, with no place to stay, she ends up staying at the Tiete Bus Terminal, the second largest in the world.

Amid São Paulo’s rapid urbanization, Praça Homero Silva endures as a green refuge and a symbol of community, memory, and ecological balance. The documentary sheds light on the social, environmental, and cultural significance of this space, known for its many natural springs and its extensive area of native vegetation. By highlighting the community’s relationship with the square, the film invites reflection on the preservation of common goods and the right to the city.
