Deep in the Portuguese mountains, the population and its activities swell during the month of August. The people come home, set off fireworks, fight fires, perform karaoke, jump off the bridge, hunt wild boar, drink beer, make children. Also, Our Beloved Month Of August follows the romantic relations of the father, the daughter and her cousin, musicians in a dance hall music group. Love and music, then. (Quinzaine des réalisateurs)
