本片以紀實劇情的方式，呈現出一般日本社會和文化中被忽略的場景。導演富田克也以自己的故鄉甲府為原型，在修路工班、泰國酒吧和嘻哈團體幾個主要角色間來回：修路工人與在酒吧工作的泰國女子的愛情、毒品與賭癮的社會議題、闡述勞工命運的日裔巴西嘻哈團體，和高喊民族主義的日本嘻哈團體的對立⋯⋯零散的劇情將日本社會中的移民、國族和階級議題串起，在灰暗、粗糙的鏡頭語言中，以各個角色的各自際遇，陳述出日本失序的一面。
This indie docu-fiction film covers a topic often ignored in Japanese society and culture: the multi-ethnic, working-class people in the country who have borne the brunt of the recent economic recession. Director Katsuya Tomita, a truck driver by profession, portrays life in his down-and-out hometown of Kofu, which has populations of Thai, Japanese-Brazilian, and Filipino immigrants. 36-year-old Seiji is a laborer who falls for a Thai hostess working in a bar. His friend Hosaka just got back from Thailand, where he had a brush with the law over drugs. They befriend Takeru, an aspiring hip-hop artist whose parents are gambling addicts. The three often gather at a bar for migrant workers. Takeru's growing hostility towards immigrants spills into tensions between two local hip-hop communities: Japanese-Brazilians on one hand and nationalistic Japanese on the other. The film's characters, many of them played by real-life workers from Kofu, are united by a shared sense of "Saudade," a Portugese word describing a kind of yearning and longing.

導演 Director | 富田克也 Katsuya Tomita
1972年生，中學畢業後懷著創作夢赴東京，曾到工地工作，開過卡車，一邊存錢拍電影。2001年與機車黑手相澤虎之助等人組成獨立製片團隊「空族」，在假日拍片，花3年完成的處女座《雲之上》一舉拿下映畫學校最佳影片。富田的作品深刻描繪日本經濟衰退、城市頹敗之際，青少年、打工族，移民等底層社群的生存與掙扎，常以身邊親友為拍攝對象。「空族」新作《曼谷不羈夜》將視角拉到東南亞，加入戰爭及殖民等宏觀維度，省思日本在當中的角色。
Katsuya Tomita (b. 1972, Kofu, Japan) financed his first film, "Above the Clouds" (2003) by working as a construction worker and a truck driver. Tomita's experience as part of Japan's working class has informed his other films, including "Saudade" (2011), a story about Japan's rarely discussed multi-ethnic communities, which was made with the help of childhood friends and amateur actors in Kofu. The film was shown at Locarno International Festival and won the Golden Montgolfière Award at the Festival des 3 Continents in France.
