Cesar Paes`s award-winning documentary, SAUDADE DO FUTURO, tells the story of the poor Nordestinos who travel south to try to find fame and fortune--or at least a better life--in the vibrant town of Sco Paulo, Brazil. Instead of making a more conventional documentary with voice-over narration, Paes, with his wife, Marie-Climence, serving as executive producer, lets the people and the music speak for themselves. However, the performers are aware of the film, so some of the songs are written specifically for it, with one song even mentioning the title of the movie in the lyrics. The film focuses on how the music of these troubadors examines their everyday life, from family relationships and religion to finances and prejudice. The rhythm of the city, featuring the unique sounds of forrs and repentismo, is even evident in the Brazilian stock market. Among the standout musicians are Sonhador et Peneira, who bang their tambourines as they exchange raplike stanzas, one trying to top the other by being faster and more creative; Zi Honorio, the well-respected accordionist; and the Banda de Pmfanos, who are now in their third generation of detailing how hard life is in modern-day Sco Paulo.
