Description: Alentejo Blue is the story of a Portuguese village told through the lives of those who live there and those who are passing through - children and old men, expatriates of all ages, tourists and locals. In this beautiful and seemingly traquil setting the villagers await the anticipated return of a prodigal son. Amid jealousies, passions and disappointments his arrival triggers an inevitably collision.
