A film-essay by João Vladimiro on rural and urban Portugal. An audiovisual experiment conducted on the borders of fiction and documentary, the work skews traditional narrative conventions. According to the director, the film “seeks to return to the curve where man lost himself, on a journey from city to nature, looking for human being’s most ancient sensations and relations. Bewilderment, fear of the unknown, the loss of basic comforts, loneliness, meeting the other. A dive after a connection with the world”. Best film at IndieLisboa 2013.
