Socorro Nobre
Maria do Socorro Nobre, a prisoner, decides to write a letter to the Polish artist Franz Krajcberg after reading an article about him in Veja magazine. Socorro was condemned to more than twenty-one years in a Salvador, Bahia, women's jail, whereas Franz is a tortured artist who lost his family and spent his childhood in a Polish ghetto but survived the Holocaust. Franz traveled to Brazil to fulfill a lifelong ambition of living close to nature, and he inspires Socorro to dream anew.
