Maria, a blind girl apparently raped by her stepfather, is held in an isolated and dilapidated hospice, desperately awaiting a miracle by Our Lady of Fátima. Turned over by Angela, her aunt, into the care of Dr. Firmino, an imposing doctor, she will suffer moments of despair, grace, and fear, among beliefs, phantoms, and revelations.

A documentary about a small touristic village in Algarve, Southern Portugal.

Miguel, a debutant director, and his young team live a series of tribulations during the shootings of their first film, which unrolls between Lisbon, Venice, Paris and Madrid.

Mini biography of the man who dedicated most of his life to collecting films and printed material relative to moving images, and who worked since his 29th birthday, for the creation of a Portuguese film archive - when not even the world's oldest film archive (Stockholm) didn't exist. The emphasis of on camera comments by his wife, friends, and film critics is more on some of the films he saved, then on his personal qualities - his modesty prevailing even then, for this last appearance on film. He would die two years after this television documentary was shown, in the series "Dos Lumière ao Lumiar", for the Portuguese national television, RTP.
