Xoel, a sound technician, arrives in the Serra da Estrela to record the sounds that are about to disappear from the highest peak in mainland Portugal. As the days go by, he discovers that tourism has silenced the signs of the past, making his quest absurd. Until a mysterious melody draws him to the top of the mountain and makes him lose his way. Xoel’s journey will become a fragile analogy of the tale that gives the region its name: the legend of the shepherd and the star.
