A documentary project that aims to capture the uncapturable. Explain what cannot be explained. How does one decipher fado? How is it conceived? They say one is born a fado singer, but how do you define what one feels? Does it emanate from within? Many Eastern masters believe that knowledge can only be gained in person. Could it be that through technology we can capture the timeless presence of a master and feel their knowledge? This is a documentary that tries to explain what fado is, to those who know it and those who don't, from the inner point of view of the 'maker' of fado. From the composer to the guitarist, including those who sing it and those who study it. And so, through these testimonies, we can explain the invisible. The inner side of Fado.

VIEIRARPAD begun with the correspondence between the couple Maria Helena Vieira da Silva and Arpad Szènes, between 1932-1961. The letters and the intimacy of their words are pretext for the exploration of an equally intimate visual journey

A journey along one of Portugal's oldest roads reveals, through its winding paths and valleys, many of the challenges currently faced by various European countries. Much like the road that cuts through the center of the country, at the heart of this discussion, lies the reflection on the depopulation and neglect of rural areas. A blend of testimonies from those who were born there, those who are dedicated to the region, and those who choose to travel it in search of something, all contribute to a deeper understanding of new ways of living and connecting with the land in a globalized world.
