( Canto da Terra d'Agua )
Francesco Giarrusso, Adriano Smaldone
2009 - 32 min - Mini DV - Couleur - Portugal
Rocks, fields, vegetation that devours the uninhabited houses and that re-appropriates itself of what it was taken by man. The action of the time on man and the action of man on things, their gestures and their memory.
David, sculptor of wooden masks, and Adélia, singer of ancient songs, are the main characters of this film that elapse in the region of Trás-os-Montes, in the northern border of Portugal. They testify the condition of this abandoned land in which rabid ground still survive the traces of an ancient ocean.
