A look into an endangered community: farmers who practice subsistence farming in a mountainous village of northern Portugal, deserted because of immigration. Between the evocation of the past and their uncertain future, it follows the 49 inhabitants through four seasons. Among the inhabitants are António, a former emigrant who fulfilled his dream of returning home and prepares the village festivities for the coming summer, and Daniel, a young shepherd who dreams of love at dusk.
