The film shows us scenes of Northern Portugal in rhythmic succession. It shows the many facets of the life in the lowlands and the gentle highlands at the Minho, which is shaped by the rhythm of the Atlantic Ocean, and religious faith, by its past and its present . It is an impressionistic portrait of daily life and festivities in the mountains.
