The video is a social experiment where a group of people from Desvelado Studios and Hogar de Cristo live on the streets of Chile for 4 days as homeless people. They have no food, water, money, or roof, and must survive on their own. The group faces difficulties finding a place to sleep, food, and warmth, and they experience firsthand the harsh realities of being homeless. Along the way, they meet other people living on the streets, including a 70-year-old man who has been homeless for 20 years, and hear their stories. The group also witnesses the death of a homeless man due to hypothermia, which serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of living on the streets. The video aims to raise awareness about poverty and homelessness in Chile and to encourage viewers to take action to help those in need.
