With a language between documentary and experimental fiction, the video approaches the relationship of a fisherman and the memories of his old town. Part of the town of Remanso, in Bahia, was submerged for the construction of the Sobradinho hydroelectric power plant. All that remains from the old town as evidence of disappearances are partially submerged ruins, like those of a water reservoir. The fisherman navigates over his own memories, crossing the waters toward the past. The images themselves bear the tension and the poetry of a town swallowed by water in a favor of a so-called social progress. This work is the result of the Artistic Residency prize of the 16th Videobrasil Festival.
