Os fillos da vide (The Children of the Vine)
The culture around wine has an atavistic tradition in Mediterranean culture. The economy derived from it is coupled with some rites that allude to the importance of the community in its communication with nature and in the celebration of life. The formal bet of the director Ana Domínguez highlights all the visual elements that make up an imaginary that flees from the rational to evoke another type of knowledge: that offered by nature.
Synopsis: The director Ana Domínguez brings us closer to her origins through this film in which she shows the grape harvest process in a small Galician town. The culture of wine becomes an ancestral journey that moves between the autobiographical and the mythical, from natural cycles to the most visceral traditions, the town festivals, which, as a reflection of the ancient bacchanalia, become an explosion of life.
