An orphan who sells newspapers on a street corner, instead has a large family on the streets of the city: an old uncle with whom he lives, a kindly false manager from a bank, a substitute mother at the vendor of arepas, a sister in her daughter and a future brother-in-law in the police that goes out of her way.
