CGiii Comment

The writing is atrocious [perhaps, down to translation?!?]...but, the metaphor is ludicrous.

On a brighter note...the cinematography is pretty impressive...with one astoundingly good shot...that should have been held for longer!

The(ir) Blurb...

It is a hot summer in August 2016. In this ephemeral sea of unforeseen events, passions, changes, voids, escapes and deceits, Rodrigo - between his personal discoveries and uncertainties about the future - is surprised by the outbreak of a set of fires in Madeira Island. What will happen to him if the wind shifts?
