The sunlight over the sea

Synopsis

Filmed at Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of continental Europe, where the land ends and the sea begins. The film is assembled from fragments of a single day — 29 December 2025 — captured in twelve moments, from 7:57 to 17:22, as if time at this point were felt differently, frame by frame, on the verge of disappearing. The film was hand-processed at LAV on 27 March 2026.
