[This is a film about rural houses in the region of Alentejo, South of Portugal, showing the relationship between house and memory, between the present and the past evoked in the houses. The past appears in all the testimonies of those with whom we spoke in a nostalgic and wistful way, as a time of harmony but also as a miserable time. Traditional architecture in the film does not refer so much to the building techniques, but rather to something akin to intangible heritage. More than knowledge, techniques, tools, ways of doing and materials, we worked from the "social imaginary". Trying not to objectify architecture, this documentary ends up focusing on the memories associated with the buildings, on the way they were and are now experienced, and on their connections to farming, ritual and family.]
