The home that inhabits us brings the reality of four homeless residents from the objects that make up the environment in which they live. Seen in another context, such objects point to what is still "home" in the life of Aloísio, Marlon, Lenice and Alex, citizens invisible to society, but who expose the search for humanization expressed in their improvised homes, in the midst of the adversities of a big city. With an unpublished text by the poet Tarso de Melo, a prominent name for the new generation of São Paulo writers, O lar que nos habita brings an extremely urban narrative, at the same time raw and sensitive, in which objects symbolize one of the most serious problems of today, that of housing, in a context in which the human being is a disposable object, most often invisible.
