“I was born beneath this water; I was ten years old when it happened,” says the young narrator.

A village condemned to disappear beneath the rising waters. Voices filled with emotion. Piece by piece their lives are broken down and relocated. All that remains are their memories.

It’s a common fact that people will move at some point in their life. But what happens when a village needs to be relocated and what has caused this momentous decision?

The village is Luz- in Portugal. It had to be relocated because of the construction of the Alqueva dam. Over the course of 6 years the filmmakers documented those most affected by this emotional process.
