A psychological travel

And very sentimental. An old movie director travels with his crew through the north of Portugal to take a famous French actor to the old village where his aunt still lives (his Portuguese father's sister). He was born in France whereto his father had emigrated and this is his first travel to Portugal. He is anxious to meet his aunt who he had never seen. We see something of the beautiful landscape of the rural northern Portugal and and people's life there. The characters are well defined and we can feel the deep psychological atmosphere of dialogues and acting.A moving and almost pathetic movie.
