Montaña Abaixo

Overview

Joaquim Marvão, the leader of the transhumance in Vila Nova de Tazem, asks me to record the descent of the herds, a centuries-old ritual in the Serra da Estrela. It is the summer of 2022 and Portugal is facing a wave of devastating fires. Against all odds, Joaquim decides to go ahead with the descent, but something goes wrong with the recording.
