A musical and poetic quest for love unfolds over distant geographical landscapes – Portugal, Angola, Cape Verde – and the innermost landscapes of our soul. During the course of this exploration, thanks to the singers’ voices, the melancholy musical notes of the fado erupt into lively crescendos: the tempo varies from that of a parade, a tableau vivant or a slow procession. It is a grand, constantly evolving canvas which attempts to give us sentimental reassurance for our confusion.
