It starts with Salvanini singing two dreamy vocal numbers "Com os raios do sol" has a slowly swirling feel to it, with electric guitar and electric bass blending with acousic piano and drums for a lush feel, soon enhanced by strings. Wordless chorus joins Salvanini and the song takes an unexpected detour into Beach Boys territory.

"Xavana" is more of a traditional bossa piece, with acoustic guitar creating most of the setting and Salvanini's vocals again taking some Brian Wilson-ish flights.

The next piece, "Zona Sul", is another straight bossa number, peppier though, with Jeronimo Jardim tackling the singing part, accompanied by the usual guitar, bass and percussion, but also some chirpy flutes or whistles.

Jardim seems to have written the next song, "Luz da Manhã", even though Salvanini sings it. This one has a slow, straight rock feel and plaintive vocals with some unusual electroni textures.

"Feita em ar" is a slow waltz with piano and flute featured and Jardim again taking over the singing. Then we get four instrumental tracks by Salvanini.

The first, "Um novo dia", has trombone playing a slow and sweet melody backed up by strings. "Nostalgia" opens with electric piano and then switches to alto sax with horn-section support for the tender main melody.

After that we get a very groovy, percussion-heavy piece, "Luana", which is a lovely bit of exotica. And then "Growing" is a funky, higher energy cue with wah-wah guitar and a great feel from the rhythm section.

"Xavana (versão mística)" is a different take on "Xavana", replacing the acoustic guitar with spacy piano and electric guitar. It's really pretty and the drums and bass keep a soft, slow pulse running through it.

This is followed by a straightforward instrumental take of "Com os raios do sol", which features harmonica.

After this we're back in a sunny mood as acoustic guitar and piano introduce "Olhe Menina", which has velvety vocal harmonies by Grupo Base.

So far there haven't been any female lead singers, which seems odd. But now we get one with Fátima Mello and "Dia Cedo", a short and sweet song with guitar and flute and as nice a feel as the others.

The record wraps things up with two more Savanini cues.

"Saudades do Amor" is a string piece reminiscent of some of Morricone's work and "Solidão" brings back Grupo Base to add lush vocal harmonies to another dreamy piano and strings piece.

A quick online search suggests that the movie is hard to find and not worth the effort. The soundtrack is another story, though. It's really good and easily obtainable, at least in a digital version.
