Ribeiro de Baixo, Cabo do Mundo
Three outsiders arrive at Ribeiro de Baixo, a village on the northern highlands of Portugal, where mysterious night lights foretell the death of its inhabitants.
In the silence of the valley, two women, Áurea and Umbelina spend their days watching over the cattle across the border, sharing tales of encounters with wolves and ancient traditions.
From France, grandchildren arrive, leisurely joining the village in witnessing the twilight of a generation and a way of life.

Rodrigo (1994), Nuno (1982) and Vítor (1989) met in a free film course in Porto. None of them work in the film industry, but they are all fascinated by the narrative and poetic possibilities of the moving image. Combining friendship with common interests in nature and the authenticity of a transgenic country, they decided to head to Melgaço for their first documentary experience together.
