In the Portuguese mountains, traditional folklore takes a paranormal turn in this atmospheric meditation on storytelling, superstition, UFOs and cats.

Unfolding like a half-remembered fairtyale, Alice dos Reis’s dreamlike film is a 16mm journey into otherworldly fable that guides us through Portugal’s Serra da Gardunha mountain range, once revered as a site of saintly apparitions and now rumoured to house an intergalactic craft.
