Whale Beards

The repository for the myths and memories of a village on the Atlantic coast. The stories appear as if the oral tradition were the only narrative that remains, bringing to the present ancient and almost lost traditions.

"A film about the land that looks like a dream awakening memories inscribed in time. A voice tells us the experience of a search in the landscape that is surveyed and traversed, while the camera 'walks' across the ground. A sensory film that awakens old beliefs where a (magic) wand acts alone... Sensory acuity rises, the body vibrates in another landscape-body that is felt in the film. Where is the water under your feet?" (Carlota Gonçalves)
