For a 13-year-old boy like Filipe, the prospect of a summer vacation in the Azores with his father is like a dream come true. But dreams are sometimes just a way to avoid facing reality…
User review:
This film, for everything it shows, could only be shot in Azores. Archipelago in the middle of the Atlantic, the present says it's Portuguese territory with Portuguese people, the history says it could have been the top of the mountains of Atlântida; country in the dreams and conscience of the whole Occidental civilization, living today (and 11 years ago, the year of the picture)on the verge of self destruction, for encouraging for (too) many years the evolution of the "material" as opposite to "spiritual" everyday more lost, everyday more in need. Azores, islands of dreams; this film is a dream and its theme is precisely what we've been loosing. Choosing Azores, is seeking origin, is seeking purity.
