SAUDADE (2022) German, Portuguese (Brazilian) | Subtitles: 🇩🇪🇧🇷 Laís’s journey is a testament to resilience. Arriving in Germany during the pandemic, she faced the challenge of having her diploma and professional experience unrecognized. Instead of giving up, she started anew, completing a new qualification and building a life from scratch. Her determination and strength reflect the reality of countless Brazilian women who refuse to be stopped by obstacles. In Saudade, her grounded perspective contrasts with Constanza’s idealized nostalgia for her parents’ homeland. Together, these stories reveal the essence of Saudade—the interplay between dreams and lived experiences, between what we long for and what we face.
