Fernando Namora

A sad and strong people living in the huge plains of Alentejo. Their endless struggle for bread, their nostalgic, bewitching songs and their daily toil to turn a dry, barren land into golden wheat fields.

João Eduardo, a young inexperienced doctor, takes up work in a village. The initial skepticism from the community gives place to esteem for the new physician after some well succeeded cases.

Reflections on life and death unfold through the eyes of Jorge, the head doctor of the Haematology Department, whose world is plunged into despair when he falls in love with Clarisse, a woman suffering from advanced leukemia.
