“Six views on a country, and its place in the world, through cinema. A journey along the road, across new frontiers, looking for sights, sounds and stories. A talking film, narrated by different generations, trying to decode yesterday, today and tomorrow of cinema made in Portugal. A reflection on the current concerns linked to the aesthetic, dramatic and production systems of films, returning to an old question: what is cinema, after all?”
