TOURFILM RIGA 2017 - 2nd Place Tourism Destinations

Official Selection Art&Tur 2017 International Film Festival

The first you notice about Serra da Estrela is the unexploited and raw nature of its territory. A landscape that hasn't changed in the last 10 thousand years, sculpted only by the elements into a smooth arrangement of high altitude plateaus. In the midst of its protruding round granite formations called Fragas, a hand full of tiny heritage villages are scattered among high altitude forests, waterfalls, natural lakes and glacier valleys.

Inhabited by very few people, these communities still embody the shepherd heritage of the Serra da Estrela. More so, it provides you a glimpse into an almost uninfluenced Portugal. You see it's not only its territory but also its people who are raw too.

This story is narrated by a young boy, who only is at the top of his class in school, he loves being a weekend Sheppard. Probably the youngest herder in Portugal, he refuses to be sucked into the screen of his mobile phone and gracefully accepts his family's open-air Serra da Estrela heritage.
