Noites Paraguayas

1982 · 93 min

A quiet, observant drift through displacement, where music and language carry more weight than plot.

Overview: The path of Paraguayan immigrants who drive to Asuncion and then arrive in São Paulo. They are rural workers, musicians, vendors and underemployed people. Two parallel worlds: the Guarani culture and the Brazilian adventure in São Paulo juxtaposed with Paraguayan songs and the Guarani language, spoken by the main characters.
How it feels: Melancholic, earnest and bleak. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Immigration, isolation, identity, music
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
