Weaving together accounts of rural workers and field notes of a couple of archaeologists, amateur footage and scientific drawings, legends, poems and songs, As Estações is a journey through the real history and the tales of Alentejo, a region in southern Portugal, and a portrait of the people who have lived there. “An archaeological film. It excavates the landscape, the voices and gestures of the people of Alentejo to uncover the vestiges of a shared history of wars and revolutions, fear and resistance, permanence and metamorphosis” (Maureen Fazendeiro).
