Movie Info

As the group performs, we learn about their everyday lives, including everything from their financial status to religious beliefs and personal relationships -- all set against the backdrop of one of the world's most beautiful cities.

Completely successful or not, films like Saudade do Futuro are needed. And we need people like the Nordestinos.

As much a cinematic treasure as it is a celebration of Brazil's musical traditions.

A fun and affectionate look at street musicians in Brazil, especially those practicing a kind of traditional rap poking fun at themselves, the audience and the sadness of life itself.
