Accused of arson, Amador has been released from prison, but no one is waiting for him. He returns to his hometown, a village in the depths of Galicia, where forest fires occur most frequently in Europe, and lives with his eighty-three-year-old mother and three dairy cows. After enduring a damp and gloomy winter, Amador lives slowly in tune with nature's rhythm; his once withered life gradually unfolds in the spring breeze and summer sunshine, until the rampant deforestation gets closer and the mountains are once again engulfed in blazing fires… Director Olivier Lascaux returns to the Spanish mountain village of his childhood to complete this destiny poem that spans four seasons. With familiar local non-professionals as the main characters, through a ceremonious movement of the camera and the texture of over sixteen millimeter film, he gazes at this mountainous landscape, which he calls "extremely beautiful, high contrast, and unpredictable," gathering a stunning energy in its tranquility; while human innocence and suspicion, nature's succession and extinction, and the insignificance and impermanence of life, erupt into searing heat with the overwhelming raging fire. The visual power is reminiscent of Bela Tarr and Tarkovsky.
