Synopsis
An old house falls slowly to the ground. To the same earth with which its walls were once made with. And without protesting, the house becomes soil again. Pretending it had not seen countless people ploughing, seeding, harvesting, kneading and eating, not heard the poetry, the stories and people leaving in search for a better life. SORTES follows the life of the resisting inhabitants and their animals scattered around Serra de Serpa in the Alentejo region. And through the voices of the remaining popular poets becomes a portrait of those who are still there and a requiem for those who are not.
