SYNOPSIS
What happens when the wall dividing a small country from the rest of the world falls accidentally? Quiet and
stuck in time, the people of Sbornia is now hit by winds of modernity coming from the big city. Conflicts caused by
a violent cultural clash mess the protagonists Pletskaya and Kraunu’s lives - two well known Sbornians musicians.
As result of a continental interference in the habits of Sbornia, some natives wake dormant old beliefs and start
rescuing their own identity. The film is based on the musical play spectacle Tangos & Tragedies, created by Nico
Gomez and Hique Nicolaiewsky which was presented on stages worldwide very successfully for the past 25 years.
UNTIL SBORNIA DO US PART – The movie
Until Sbornia Do Us Part is a tale about the right of places to keep their own identities without necessarily
assimilate the standardization of hegemonic cultures. For this, the metaphor of the Sbornian world was adapted
for the big screen from the play that has was presented with huge success on stages in Brazil, for more than 25
years with audience ranging 1 million people. Sometimes the film subtly refers to the peculiarities of the
southernmost cultural universe in Brazil – with its odd drink and seriousness of its inhabitants, protecting many of
the differences prevailing in different "Brazils" that co-exist within this vast country in which we live. Talking on
cultural differences is also talking about individual differences, the style of each one and the right of the different
to exist in a world increasingly more homogeneous and mass-produced.
The movie is a free adaptation of the Gaucho musical play Tangos & Tragedies, made into a feature film by Otto
Desenhos Animados. The proposal is not to give the movie a playback faithful of what was seen in the theater, but
recreate the fantastic universe of Sbornia – original land of Kraunus Sang and the Conductor Pletskaya –
approaching this nowhere land, wandering lost through the seas of the world, to our individual universes – quirky
and unique.
Until Sbornia Do Us Part uses 2D (full animation) classical animation technique, also taking advantage of 3D
capabilities to optimize production in scenes involving reusing scenarios and boldest camera movements. The film
will be commercially released in 3-D (stereoscopic), digital and 35mm versions in Brazil en August, 2014.

OTTO GUERRA & THE OTTO DESENHOS ANIMADOS
Otto Guerra is one of five Brazilians cited in the international bible Taschen about animation, which is already an
ultimate luxury. Take a look at what the book Animation Now says about the director of Wood & Stock:
“Mr. Guerra belongs to a creative and lively Gaucho filmmakers group in Rio Grande do Sul
state, Brazil. With a diversified career that spans advertising, institutional and acidic copyright
comedies, he became the underground pope of Brazilian animation, making a huge success
and school with his special lopsided way. Guerra in Portuguese is the name for war / guerre /
krieg. Otto then pitched his trench – the Otto Desenhos Animados Producer in 1978, and has
since then been targeting the mass culture and children's themes with his priceless skits. Soap
operas commercial breaks, movie trailers and the myths of western have already been in his
3
artillery sights. The film Rocky and Hudson saga of two gay guys, namby-pumby and
schizophrenic cowboys, is today a cult movie animation in Brazil. Otto Guerra owes its
introduction into movies to a course taught by Argentinean Felix Folonier. Until then he had
cultivated the habit of drawing children's comics, inspired by the adventures of Tintin, Blake
and Mortimer. When he finally took over the moving image, he began by ads and contributions
to Brazilian children's film hits, as in Os Trapalhões e a Turma da Monica. Later, he competed
in festivals with their own creations, full of original humor and frequent innovations to
narratives. In The Blue Kingdom, for example, a tyrant chases away boredom painting his
entire kingdom in blue. The advent of computer graphics shook the working methods of
Guerra, who adopted new technologies in his productions for both film and television. ‘A good
fighter does not refuse new weapons to his arsenal.’ (Animation Now: Taschen, Cologne, 2004,
p 372)
Otto is a pioneer in animation in the country. He has been on the market for 35 years with three feature films, 10
short films and more than 500 advertising films on his resume. Until Sbornia fall us part is the result of a growth
path of a company producing animation contents and undoubtedly his highest standard artwork in quality made
so far.
Stands out on its path, the feature film Wood & Stock (2005) in which Otto Desenhos Animados did more than
adapting to screen Angeli's pumpkin-head characters. Remaining faithful to a style that has already become
remarkable, Wood & Stock was turned into the most debauched satire, as it had done in the classic Novela and in
the premonitory Rocky & Hudson – story of two gay cowboys created by an delusional, irreverent Adam
Iturrusgarai, who also was based on a total sarcasm not only anticipated Brokeback Mountain as he also
beforehand, did the best parody about it which could hardly be overcome by any contemporary production alike.
The last feature film of the producer, Wood & Stock, amounted 120,560 viewers (55,000 in commercial theaters
and 65,000 in festivals), having won numerous awards: Best soundtrack, Best Supporting Actress, Special Jury
Prize at CINEPE 2006; Itamarati – 2006; Best Film by Popular Jury at Luso-Brasileiro Film Festival of Santa Maria da
Feira, Portugal, 2006; Best Film by popular jury in FestCineBelém/2007; Best Animated Feature Film at I Animec,
Ecuador 2008; Best Animated Feature Film at I Expotoons, Argentine/2008.

SBORNIA CHARACTERS
Kraunus Sang: Convicted Sborniano and attached to traditions, Kraunus Sang is
the late Ladislaus Sang's grandson, CHAOS – Center for Homage to Ancient
Origins of Sbornia. Musician like his grandfather, he is at the show Tangos &
Tragedies, beside his partner - and so unlike - Conductor Pletskaya. Despite the
flippancy on the stage, Kraunus is very shy and has huge difficulties expressing himself in words.
Conductor Pletskaya: Compulsive lover, Pletskaya is always in turns with his
heart in pieces. Now he will live (one more) intense passion for the mainland
Cocliquot, Alba and Gonzalo's daughter, who was promised to the wealthy
Garden All Baron.
Cocliquot: Young, curious, rebellious, Cocliquot soon falls for Pletskaya after he
starts attending her home disguised as piano teacher. She abandons her own
honeymoon to live this love affair with Pletskaya.
Dimitrius: Son of Kraunus, he appears in the movie in two versions: a current
one, older, as the narrator of the facts surrounding the separation of Sbornia
island from the mainland; and another as a young man, within the story, living
the events. He is a fan of his father and watches helplessly the family splitting up
and a gradual transformation of his mother Ludmilla, into a continental one.
Ludmilla: Dimitrius's mother and Kraunus’s wife. As many other Sbornians, she
dazzles with continental resources and liberalities and starts assimilating the new
continental culture giving up Sbornian traditions.
6
Gonçalo Delacroix: ambitious continental businessman, Cocliquot's father and
Alba's husband glimpses the commercial exploitation of the Bizuwin vegetation,
cultivated only in Sbornia Island solving then their financial problems.
Axeball players: They practice a typical Sbornian sport. It is played with a wooden ball and
axes. Players who survive to the game are seen as heroes.
C.H.A.O.S. Members: Dedicated to preserve local traditions and habits, members
of Center for Homage to Ancient Origins of Sbornia face difficulties in their
countless polls due to the fact of being an even number group and to be always
split in half.
TANGOS & TRAGEDIES and SBORNIA origin
Tangos & Tragedies was created in 1984, in Porto Alegre. The musical went through many theaters in Brazil,
besides counting with a Spanish language version, presented in Buenos Aires (Argentine), Quito (Ecuador),
Manizales (Colombia) and Cadiz and San Sebastian (Spain). In Portugal, it was chosen by the public as the Best
Spectacle throughout International Theatre Festival of Almada in 2003, and Spectacle of Honor in 2004.
Hique Gomez is Kraunus Sang and plays the violin while Nico Nicolaiewsky incorporates the unhappy Conductor
Pletskaya playing accordion and piano. The characters were born in a fictional country called Sbornia from where
both had fled, according to the duo, after the arrival of rock and roll in the country, claiming refuge in Rio Grande
do Sul state.

Some comments about Tangos & Tragedies
"Tangos and Tragedies is a life lesson: What split us up is precisely
what unites us all. Also teaches us that joy and sorrow are two
sides of the same coin."
Hans Joachim Koellreutter
"Yes sir, Nico Nicolaiewsky and Hique Gomez, those two from Tangos and
Tragedies who I thought be strange and weirdos are buffoons of
escamel. They let me skeptic, completely in resonance and dystonic.
And, well, in dysphonia they serve as tone.
There is no lack of art. 'Vot'a mares!' It is to take our hats off. The best
is that they shake as much as the audience which pay
them a dumbfounded looking, exhaling pleasure, if you know what I mean.
They worth. Watch while they are close. For sure they are going far."
Millôr Fernandes
"Sbornia has a lot to teach Brazil, not only Copernicus
their national dance. They sent away from there the Conductors Kraunus and Pletskaya,
and the example should be followed here, where the two musical anarchists
disguised as Hique Gomez and Nico Nicolaiewsky with their
‘Tangos and Tragedies’ are threatening our musical values, our composure
and we are dying laughing. Away with them!"
Luís Fernando Veríssimo
‘They are entitled to the name Tangos and Tragedies when they tell dramatically,
funny things of love. It's hard not to be moved by their songs,
especially with Roxanne when they leave the stage
and become pied pipers of Hamelin, and the audience,
enchanted as mice, follows them up the street... where they want to.’
Edgar Scandura
‘To any intelligent person, this is a chance as few - a chance,
perhaps like no other : to watch a show like who receives homage,
wins an award or is surprised by an unexpected joy.
Tangos and Tragedies is a show that makes us feel unforgettably happy.
You cannot ask for more. Tangos and Tragedies is the best night that
anyone can have at least within a theater’.
Sérgio Augusto de Andrade - Folha da Tarde (SP)

CO-DIRECTOR OTTO GUERRA WORDS
(This interview was published in + Soma, issue 16 - Text by Arthur Dantas)
Forget the stereotypes and cartoons for children. Otto Desenhos Animados, created by legendary, Gaucho night
owl and fond of good drinks Otto Guerra 53 has been around for more than thirty years throwing sand in the eyes
of unwary and making money when possible. What began innocently in screens with "The Little Donkey's
Christmas" – success in Gramado Film Festival 1984 – ended in better feature films as "Rocky & Hudson" (based
on the characters of Adam Iturrusgarai), 1994 and "Wood & Stock: Sex, Oregano and Rock'n'Roll" (characters of
Angeli), 2006. After the tropical version of "Cheech & Chong" business became serious: 42 people worked on the
feature film "Until Sbornia do us apart" by Kraunus and Pletskaya and are very well prepared for the most daring
operation: a film based on the most recent phase of more nonsense and existentialist strips of Laertes.
"In August 1978 Otto Desenhos Animados Ltda arose from an initiative of the young, muscular and talented
Otto Guerra, in spite of his 22 years old. At that time TV broadcast (sic) required the same 720 by 486 lines of
definition from today, and the minimum to reach that level was a 16mm film. A used Paillard Bolex camera cost
something like U$ 8,000! (...) Thus, after one year leasing that equipment (...) the company bought in São Paulo
(...) the so desired Bolex. Well, the first Bolex we never forget! "
(source: www.ottodesenhos.com.br)
What is most of the studio work?
In twenty-odd years of work I have done about 600, 700 ads. As I had done comics before building the producer
agency, fiction is almost like a son, and advertising has the concrete goal of selling, leaving business very limited.
But it was through these jobs that I formed manpower and the equipment was bought. I thank to advertising
every day, but that sucks, sucks. The last job we did was a huge campaign for RBS ("RBS Monsters"), which is the
same Globo TV here in the South. From the brilliant Brazilian cinema downfall caused by genius Collor, and with
the closing of Embrafilme, subsequently emerged public and private entities without all those corporatism
addictions, dark combinations, etc, all that shit you know...
But it is going on again, isn’t it?
This Brazilian film model of being maintained by public money is a controversial bid: films should be an industry
with tickets paying for the whole production. Then we have this distortion that movies do not need to attract
9
audience. I always wondered this: People talk about giving cash to movies instead of hospitals, for example. But it
is an exaggeration: a country that does not have a film production eventually causes a disease called lack of
identity. When I was a kid, cinema was something much more cultural – it was almost like reading a book, it was
not just entertainment. Cinema is currently experiencing a phenomenon corresponding to movie is to have
popcorn and fun, worldwide.
How your interest in animation has started?
I am from the same generation of Jaca and Angeli, for example. Porto Alegre has a fantastic community of
designers, but one has a hard time to make a living from it over here. In the 70s it was so. Animation was a way
for me to make money.
But animation was not an easy move, I imagine. Even more in Porto Alegre.
There were a few Argentineans – they have a fine tradition in animation. Argentineans made the first animated
feature film in the world, you know. – who came to Porto Alegre and as they had the whole knowledge, to reveal
the 16mm films, vocalize, etc worked for us. And working with them, I produced a lot of advertising for the whole
Brazil. As the cost of living in Rio and Sao Paulo was more expensive, production over there was much more
expensive then people from all corners realized it was clever for them to hire us!
And you were a sort of sweatshop of Argentineans in Brazil.
Definitely! (Giggling) and so I could buy my equipment. A camera cost a lot of money that time. And reality is, that
story of selling your soul to the devil cost me my own style, which was more like in a "Tintin" way by Hergé. I lost
style and my own drawing not evolved. As of 84 I stopped drawing. The film art director is Eloar Guazelli, he is a
cartoonist and designer born in Rio Grande do Sul and living in Sao Paulo.
Allan Sieber and Fabio Zimbres have already worked with you.
Allan started quite a kid, housecleaning, washing bathrooms (giggling). Zimbres art directed two of our short
films. The guy has an amazing style. Jaca did little. We even tried to make a short film but it did not work. But
before I die I want to finish it, his work lends itself to animate.
And are there any other well-known animators who have gone through the film producer?
Andres Lieban, an Argentinean who lives in Rio and produces to Canada, animated "Rock & Hudson." Lancast
Mota, from Ceara/Brazil who animated 'Annabel' series, which was the first to appear on a commercial TV,
Nickelodeon. Many people here in Porto Alegre have helped plenty.
10
What was the first fiction?
It was the short "The Little Donkey Christmas" in 1984. Those days it was very rare to see a Brazilian film
animation fiction. I grabbed my own money to make these films with no return at all. With the resumption of
national cinema in 1995, we made a feature film "Rocky & Hudson" by Adam Iturrusgarai, who also wrote the
screenplay of the film. It was fun - it was all done based on a lot of booze and the storyboard done with BIC pen
(giggles).
A real Sbornia!
Yes Indeed, the new film is freely based on "Tangos & Tragedies" (Sbornia is a metaphor of Rio Grande do Sul
state; an island that is wandering in the ocean, created by comedians Hique Gomez and Nico Nicolaiewsky), a
stage play that was on for more than 25 years. I saw the duo back in 1984 and it was the first time I identified
myself with something from Gaucho culture. Even wearing, when I was a kid, Gaucho bombachas in Alegrete, you
end up identifying yourself a lot more with "Johnny Quest" on TV than with your own traditions.
And how is animation?
The play is a musical, few skits. The script intended to make commercial cinema - but not a stupid one – so we
called in two writers: Tomás Kreus and Rodrigo John, who also did the screenplay for "Wood & Stock". The level is
very high!
The style is different from previous productions?
Yes, the new film gives a bath. My 10 y-old niece saw 'Wood & Stock' and said: 'why did you do it this way?'
(Giggles).
And now you are the boss. Where do you fit in this process?
It is a controversy here in the studio. They say there are two poles. One to choose people to work, animation, etc.
and another that will move through the entire process. I would be the first: chose the story, picked who would be
the best animators and best writers. I also participate in final edition - what builds the cinema, the cinematic
narrative, is the edition, for sure.
Brazil has no strong tradition in animation. This helps or hinders?
Personally, it was very important to keep an eye on the blinds. It's good and bad. On the other hand,
not having a school, a tradition, does not help much. The first things I did were terrible – actually there are few
things that I would not be ashamed to show. 'Wood & Stock' went through all the festivals – in Brasilia/Brazil it
only competed because they had no Brazilian film. We are reinventing the wheel. There was "Amazon Symphony"
11
(the first Brazil animated feature film, 1953) by Anélio Lattini Son. We want to have a constant production, we
have done a job after another and this new film is placing us on another level.
And the big animated film industry in the United States? Pixar, Disney, etc...
I like a lot. They are in an amazing script level. The most developed expression of human being is the drawing,
because it is the oldest – writing comes from it. Animation with drawing is something quite fantastic, has a lot to
develop yet. We are producing a screenplay on top of Laerte's work 'City of Pirates'. I was going to São Paulo to
talk to him and realized that it was not worth trying such kind of cinema, beginning-middle-conflict-turningturning-end, because one cannot compete. In Laerte's movie, I will cling to references to the Brazilian breaker
cinema - play upon transgression. And this current existentialism of Laerte's is genius. Already there is an
argument, using the most current strips: we are going to use various phases of these strips, tying it all. It's a
feature film, because it has to be a product to be visible. Only then it has a chance to be displayed. Brazil is a very
culturally rich country. We have this habit of saying that the country is poor and slow, but it is a stereotype that
comes from outside. In an Italian festival "Wood & Stock" was very well accepted. An Italian man in a discussion
table was startled by the fact that the government had paid for this kind of movie, with sex and drugs. And I said:
'Yes, Brazil is a country very evolved' (laughs). And it's true! The Italian man became so surprised. We made a coproduction about Joseph Lutzenberger, a famous environmentalist here in the south, also Environment Secretary
in Collor’s government. Notorious drunkard, a wonderful person. He told me in a bar a great story: already very
uncomfortable with the whole story of the government etc, he went to Austria and met Collor, Zelia Cardoso de
Mello – only high level people you know. And all the ministers and the President himself were speaking English,
saying that Brazil was a poor country, etc. Lutz spoke fluent German, and made a speech that was more or less
like this: 'Brazil is a country rich in all aspects, it has natural resources, wonderful people, rich culture ... poor are
the politicians as you all could observe on previous statements...' (giggles). And nobody from the government
knew German. Of course, on the following day, with the whole effect o his speech, Lutz was exonerated.
Are there a lot of Brazilian animators working for major studios abroad?
Carlos Saldanha, for example. He directed 'Ice Age' and created that crazy squirrel. Ennio Torresan, who worked
on 'Madagascar' and 'SpongeBob' are some of them.
Have you ever thought about going abroad?
I had some proposals – I was very dedicated, nerd, sent resume everywhere. They even call me, but I did not
speak English well then I thought: 'Damn, I'm going to be blended there' and there was a cliché saying 'It is better
12
being the head of a mouse than the tail of the lion' (giggles). With this movie I want to make a classic, with ideas
that do not try reproducing that wonderful and fantastic American industry, which has been evolving
continuously since 'Snow White'.
Do you like any new animator guy in our market?
There are those people who did 'Avaiana de Pau' completely anarchic, and Allan Sieber himself with
'Toscographics' who I greatly admire.
You are the voice of God in 'God is Father' (Sieber's polemic series), right?
Yes, it was the first role that I did. They gave me a part at my level you know (lots of giggle), but I also helped
filming. We ended up in Paris, because of the movie, having beers (giggles).

Soundtrack Comments
To take care of the soundtrack of Until Sbornia Do Us Part, we invited the talented André Abujamra - musician,
actor, producer and director. Abujamra was lauched in a musical group called "The Black Women" in the 80s. But
it was as lead singer of Karnak band in 1992, that his musical experiments had deserved recognition.
Abujamra, or Abu, as he is known in film circuit, is responsible for several outstanding tracks of our national
cinema, including "A Cup of Cholera", "Bicho de sete cabecas" and "Carandiru". For the animated film of Otto
Cartoons, his work was experimental.
Besides Abujamra's compositions, the track also features re-recordings made by sbornianos Hique Nico Gomez
and Nicolaiewsky to classics like "Copernicus" and "The Drunkard" which are part of the musical spectacle Tangos
& Tragedies for several years, besides reinterpretations.
