SYNOPSIS:
"Street Chronicles: City of Lost Souls" is an enthralling tale set in a dystopian San Francisco, where the homelessness crisis has reached unprecedented levels, casting a dark shadow over the city. Rosa, once an innocent "hot dog vendor," has transformed into a street-smart survivor who has lost everything except her indomitable spirit. She navigates the unforgiving streets of San Francisco, where the glaring divide between the affluent elite and the destitute homeless population is painfully apparent. As she faces the harsh reality of her mother's mysterious disappearance when she was a child and clings to the illusion of being a singer, even without great talent, Rosa's resilience becomes a beacon of hope.
​
In this bleak backdrop, a unique presence enters their lives—an autistic child who insists on the existence of extraterrestrial beings that communicate with him through intricate automatic drawings. This child, living a life marked by isolation and misunderstanding, brings an additional layer of complexity to their already tumultuous journey.
​
Amid the challenges of her daily life, Rosa encounters her fellow travelers. Pinocchio, a war veteran turned disillusioned taxi driver, becomes her unexpected protector after witnessing her unwavering resilience in the face of danger. While he grapples with the search for meaning in his life and looks for new illusions. TocKer, a recovering addict who has successfully broken free from his past, joins his group. He is not only drawn to their cause but also falls in love with Rosa at first sight. Martirio, a mysterious wanderer in his extravagantly modified old school bus, stumbles upon their group, bringing with him a cache of weapons and the knowledge of how to dismantle the mafia lord who holds their community hostage.
As they inch closer to their ultimate goal of toppling the mafia lord's empire, they must navigate the perilous streets of San Francisco, where homeless encampments and despair pervade every corner, and where the drama of being homeless is a harsh reality for many. Along their journey, they confront not only the cruelty of the mafia lord but also the systemic issues that have led to the homelessness crisis in the city. Each character's odyssey becomes a quest for redemption, not just for themselves but also for the lost souls trapped in a city teetering on the brink of collapse.
