In this more experimental and lesser-shown film, Reis and Cordeiro explore the Trás-os-Montes area again, but this time in a more philosophical and artistic mood. In Cordeiro's words: “A film to see and hear as though it were for the first time, as though it were the first film to come out of the earth and talk about it”, while according to Reis: “It is a film about the human condition. It is made of what illusions are made of: sounds, visions, rhythms, words, music. It develops freely in time and space, obeying its internal strengths. A film built on its inner appeals”.
