In his most audacious film since his groundbreaking debut *O Fantasma*, João Pedro Rodrigues reimagines the myth of Saint Anthony of Padua as a modern-day parable of sexual and spiritual transcendence. On a bird-watching expedition in the remote wilderness of northern Portugal, Fernando capsizes his canoe and loses his bearings. His ensuing odyssey, both intensely physical and wildly metaphysical, involves sadistic Chinese pilgrims, a deaf-mute shepherd named Jesus, pagan tribes, Amazons on horseback, and a glorious variety of feathered friends. Official Selection at the **Toronto International Film Festival**. Nominated for Best Director at the **Locarno International Film Festival**. *"Audacious, intriguing and also strangely sweet." - Kevin Maher, **Times (UK)***
