You are invited to follow four different experiences and points of view at the same time, with a Spanish journalist, a Portuguese taxi driver, an Italian business man and a German student. They talk about their life among the “Paulistana”, the people born in the city of São Paulo. These different stories lead us to discover a variety of aspects defining São Paulo: beauty, eccentricity, social and cultural differences, importance of family, devotion at work, and also violence and danger of its streets.
The whole shooting took place in the city of São Paulo, directed by Michel Tikhomiroff and Edu Rajabally, with a soundtrack written by Andre Abujamra. “Europa Paulistana” offers a realistic viewpoint of the difficulties, sensations and doubts experienced by the people living in São Paulo today.
