Socorro Nobre
Maria do Socorro Nobre, an inmate, decides to write a letter to the Polish artist Franz Krajcberg after reading an article about him in Veja magazine. Socorro was sentenced to more than twenty-one years in a women's prison in Salvador, Bahia, while Franz is a troubled artist who lost his family and spent his childhood in a Polish ghetto but survived the Holocaust. Franz relocated to Brazil to fulfill his lifelong dream of living close to nature, and he inspires Socorro to do the same.
