Overview

Amid Portugal’s disappearing rural villages, an aging couple, Adelaide and Manuel, remain—tending to their land, their animals, and each other. Observed with patience and reverence, their lives unfold in quiet moments: hands worn by labor, songs sung to the wind, the unspoken wisdom of a lifetime shared. With intimate observation, this film attempts to capture the significant beauty of a world slipping away, offering a meditation on time, resilience, and the spiritual weight of a vanishing way of life.
