Documentary about Malcata mountain range, in all of its dimensions and surroundings. A journey that seeks to unravel the history of the region from the last 600 million years to the present day. Malcata, located between Portugal and Spain, it’s a land of transition; a space of encounters and influence but permanently ruled by its isolation. Since the pre Roman era to the present day, settlers have dug these lands in search of its mineral riches and manipulated their watercourses, repelled invasions and used the border to move goods and people.
