Fátima Gomes Pereira

Documentary on poor people living in a slum in Rio de Janeiro, on the occasion of New Year's Eve of 1999.

Simple, emotionally compelling documentary that delves into the songs that hold meaning in people's lives. It is composed of 18 sessions where the director engages his subjects in conversation about the song they picked. The end product is deeply personal stories about music and its intimate connection to memory, love, loss, self-discovery, regret, death, and life.
