( Volta a Terra )

João Pedro Placido
2014 - 85 min - HD - Couleur - Portugal, France, Suisse

The story of an endangered community: farmers who practice subsistence farming in a mountainous village of northern Portugal, deserted because of immigration. Between the evocation of the past and their uncertain future, we follow the 49 inhabitants through four seasons, from the wintry fallow until the return of the prodigal sons in August.
