Synopsis
The contact with the green, alive, and real Alentejo, present in the municipality of Odemira, challenges preconceived expectations and, above all, stands out in any mythopoetic self, no matter if it is constructed collectively, or from the spiritual standpoint of an individual. The passage of time resonates in the memories that we fondly say no one can take away from us. It echoes the inhabited, thought and lived place that reconfigures and activates itself as space.
Such perceptions, times, and records emerge in a single gesture that explores the senses without harming them. Thus, a reflective moment and improvised instant is materialized, frozen and written in a vaporous and iconic fabric.-
