Synopsis

This film is essentially about Fachada's music, but it doesn't stop at Lisbon, it ventures to the interior of the country and, like the post-modern Giacometti, risks a trip to the origins of what will be "tradition". We see old ladies, we see countryside and we see city. There are fragments of old stories, there is an attempt (not always successful) to connect the old country themes with Fachada's original songs and there is a fragile (and welcome) humanity that runs through the whole film.
