This is the life of a man , 42, who has lived on the streets , who slept on the floor , unwashed for months . He had lost all contact with his world , the Sikh community of his country of origin . No one knew anything about him . I met him by chance one evening , while he was sleeping drunk in the rain . Since that night I tried in every way to help him find a life . And finally we were able to restore dignity . I photographed the most terrible moments and the time when he could finally go home .
