In 2007, a sound engineer and a cameraman arrive in Corvo, the smallest island in the archipelago of the Azores. Lost in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, Corvo is a large rock, six kilometres long and four kilometres wide, with the crater of a volcano and a single tiny village of 440 inhabitants. Gradually, the small filming crew is accepted by the island’s population and discovers a 500-year-old civilization, whose history is practically undecipherable and almost without any written records. –Locarno Film Festival
tinha saudades da calma, da simpatia e da própria saudade que só encontro no cinema Português. tenho ao mesmo tempo pena de ser Português, tenho imensa pena que seja preciso sair de Portugal para saberem que somos portugueses.
Gostei imenso. Um bom retrato de um modo peculiar de experienciar a vida e um futuro documento histórico.
Saw it in Vilnius film festival. Congratulations, guys. For me, it's probably going to be the best film in the whole festival this year. Documentary at it's best. Please keep making films.
