When Fernando, an ornithologist glides his
kayak down a stunning canyon in a remote wild area of Portugal, his life takes a complete
turn as - does his kayak.
It tips over in some nasty rapids. Meeting two Lesbian
Chinese girls, his fate ends up at their mercy.
He is tied up and basically abused, but he
escapes. He is left with nothing except stealing his bag, but his meds are
gone, and that is serious. He encounters too many strange things, including a
person that he ends of making love to and some bizarre rituals.
His transformation becomes a mystical one
that involves a religious series of subtle and not so subtle events with dramatic
consequences. The film is stunning to watch, but moving from realism into fantasy
to create symbolism, becomes a tad incredulous. Though I knew his redemption
would involve revisiting a young man whom he left for dead, plot probability
was weak. But I loved the scenery and tranquility in the cinematic art shots.
