A young man returns to his native Alentejo countryside and encounters the legendary seductive “enchanted moura,” sparking a poetic journey that intertwines ancient Arabic folktales with contemporary rural life. Drawing on medieval prose and verse, the film explores cultural memory and pagan traditions through visual folklore rooted in Portuguese-Arab heritage.

Based on the work by Fernando Pessoa - a "message" about the destinies of Portugal - not just in isolation but looking at them as precursors and announcers of the fate of the entire planet.
