Vidas de Carolina tells the story of two women who make a living collecting recyclable waste. The documentary was inspired by the life of waste picker and writer Carolina Maria de Jesus. Accounts from the writer's family members and excerpts from the book Quarto de Despejo connect the three stories.
The documentary tells the story of writer Carolina Maria de Jesus, who became a success in the 60s and, since then, has inspired writers and artists such as Ruth de Souza, Zezé Motta and Conceição Evaristo.
