A very beautiful trip to the Azores, lost islands in the middle of the ocean. A very nice elementary trip. Confronting generations…and meeting young people dreaming of freedom. A surprising film in its documentary style! Highly recommended even if there are a few short runs sometimes! The new generation of Portuguese cinema is in full swing! 🙂

Sao Miguel
The director set her film on the island of São Miguel because of the very musical way Portuguese is spoken, the cultural traditions, the very profound presence of religion, the local myths full of mystery, and the impressive polarity between generations.
