Raphael Fernandez is a poor boy who works at a dump site alongside with his best friend Gardo. He lives with his aunt, two cousins, and half sister in a house made out of trash in Behala. They rely on the trash they find to make money. Raphael has many struggles in life every day such as poverty, not enough food, no proper shelter, or having no education.
