As canções (Songs)

Brazil 2011, 91 min, English subtitles

What is the song of your life? 18 women and men between the ages of 22 and 82 answered this question through song and narration: at times, their voices are shaky, at others, jubilant and at others still, mournful: songs of lost love, tragic relationships, betrayal and passion. When the protagonists sing “their” songs for the camera – mostly songs by Roberto Carlos – their lyrics are filled with new life. A moving documentary that won the award for best documentary at the Festival do Rio 2011
