Europe's largest lithium mine is about to begin operation in Trás-os-Montes, much to the dismay of the local inhabitants. Frederico Lobo conveys an earthy sensuality and contrasts the geology of mining prospecting with exploration of people’s roots. Amid the fog and the labyrinth of time, while machines probe the geological depths of the mountain, a shepherd searches for an errant cow. Childhood finds its way back, the mountain transforms itself, the cycle continues.
