Melgaço is a space to reflect on time, on what is today, what was and what can be glimpsed to come. What remains and what ceases to be.
"How long will a tradition" last explores the possibility of maintaining tradition, in contrast with abandonment, in an explicit dichotomy of connection/detachment.
The protagonists are those who strive to keep alive the memory of other times. But there is also the invisible and omnipresent character who gradually takes over the spaces marked by absence and stagnation.
