Nightwalker

Synopsis

Men risk their lives breaking into moving freight trains to recover leftover grain and sell it on. Nightwalker translates into film these nights of endless work in which bodies disappear, swallowed up by the striking industrial landscapes of the Rio Grande port and ensnared by the Brazilian economic crisis.
