Syppyt Suruktar tells a story about several friends who fell into a hole and found themselves in another realm, where capitalist and exploitative powers destroyed many forms of life. Wandering through these ruins, each of them remembers, learns, dreams, shares stories of longing and finds hope in the words of their ancestors. Maybe the ending of worlds makes space for the birthing of other worlds that will not be separated from nature and her heartbeat.

Syppyt Suruktar (Lost Letters)

Quirino, 77, has lived for more than 30 years in an abandoned village in Cape Verde at the bottom of a deep valley, between the sea and the mountains.
