How do babies end up in the womb? What is this thread that is attached to the baby? What is your name? Is it for the baby to hold on? And me, how was I born?

It is the string of life, the string that tells your story and ours and that accumulates stories from other lives. This cord has no end.

A 739.26 km road that connects a country, from North to South, that passes through 11 districts and 35 municipalities, that runs through 11 mountains and crosses 13 rivers, and that serves as the terrain for a trip that is as much a crossing through Portugal in 2024, like a vertical line that goes back 50 years to rescue documents, reports and memories, with the Commemorations of the 50th anniversary of the 25th April Revolution as its artistic vector.
