Using as a starting point the book “Paisagem com mulher e mar ao fundo” by Teolinda Gersão, this work explores the relationship between cinema and literature from an ecofeminist, symbolic and fantastic perspective. Using the creation of imaginary characters, homemade costumes and photographic archives, it appropriates some of the author’s reflections on waiting, nostalgia and the Portuguese overseas wars, relocating them in the insular context of Terceira (Açores) and creating a dreamlike, magical and performative world that transports the viewer to imagination and contemplation.
