Street vendors in Valparaíso in Chile cut through the hustle and bustle with their stories. Adelina and Juan have been there for decades. They offer their goods, shouting loudly and passionately. Retirement is not possible. Fear and warmth, stark political views alongside loyalty. A portrait of four graceful people who enliven and rhythmize a street corner. A microscopic image of an intersection offering an inspiring insight into Chile.
