Xoel, a landscape phonographer, arrives at Serra da Estrela to record the sounds which are about to disappear from Portugal’s highest peak. Until a mysterious melody lures him to the top of the mountain and gets him lost. Xoel’s journey will become a fragile analogy of the tale that gives its name to the region: The Legend of the Shepherd and the Star.
