  What happens when a bunch of talentless media whores get their hands on some cameras, a script so thin it could masquerade as pantyhose and a budget so tiny you'd need tweezers to pick it up? You get Saudade, the latest trashy tele-novella from the producer of Hustler White, Skin Flick and Bruce La Bruce's homo-revolution epic Raspberry Reich.Three hopelessly sexy German boys flee to Brazil for the summer, to stay in one of the boys' father's swanky beachside pad. Dividing their time between running a pay-per-view porn site and snorkelling for tropical fish, they soon discover this idyllic locale is about to bring some nasty demons bubbling to the surface. Rhythmically-challenged Miguel is desperate to find a 'new sound' to smother his despair for their failed rap group; rich kid Cyrus must overcome his unjustified loathing of Maria, the house girl (and himself); and Erik must find a way to confess to his new love that he accidentally murdered his brother one night during an unexpectedly forcible beach romp.These poor tortured souls begin to find solace for their longings in the traditions of the local people - but will Maria's mystic shells, combined with the powers of the internet, unearth the answers Cyrus so desperately seeks?
