David is a scientist on his way to Denmark, with his wife and daughter, but first he has to go back to his native village for the funeral of his grandfather. There he meets the family he had practically lost contact with, is drawn back by memories and by the wild charm of the place, and falls under the spell of his cousin's wife, Ana.

Two weeks before her wedding, Maria is spoiled, hung over, possibly pregnant, and unwilling to exchange her party girl ways for her impending marriage. So, with the objections of her father and the encouragement of her uncle, she leaves on a mission to return a large boat and trailer to her fiancé, who lives in Spain. With the help of Gabriel, she drives a large rig across the Iberian plains, visiting her estranged brother in Cordoba along the way and dallying in sexual hijinks to boot.

Set four years after the Portuguese revolution and the simultaneous loss of the Portuguese empire in Africa, the story concerns a director who sells guns to finance his play. (imdb)

The film documents Portuguese artist Maria Helena Vieira da Silva and her husband Arpad Szenes, of Hungary, showing where they came from, met, lived together, and made art.
