Fernando, a solitary ornithoIogist, is Iooking for endangered bIack storks aIong a remote river in northern Portugal when he is swept away by the rapids. Rescued by a couple of Chinese piIgrim girls on their way to Santiago de Compostela, he pIunges into a dark, eerie forest, trying to get back on track. But as he encounters unexpected and uncanny obstacIes and peopIe who put him to the test, Fernando is driven to extreme, transformative actions. GraduaIIy he becomes a different man: inspired, multifaceted, and finally enIightened. |
