Carlos Martínez-Peñalver Mas accompanies Xoel on a tour of the Serra da Estrela in search of sounds that are at risk of extinction. However, he soon realizes that tourism has silenced the past, leaving his project in limbo. One day, however, a mysterious melody takes him back to the mountain. A breathtaking journey through one of the last national regions still immune to human presence; a way to see the landscape with your eyes closed.
