In contact with narratives of the elderly fromVitoria/ES, which does not accept the intervention of social welfare policy, and even accepting it, cause reversals in the technical procedures and find off-the-beatentruths and possibilities we are called to think about the ways we produce life collectively. We are called to open ourselves to the listening and to the experience of the difference as other ways of living our lives and questioning reality itself as it is.
