Aquele Querido Mes de Agosto / Our Beloved Month of August / This Dear Month of August (2008) DVD9 + DVD5

Film combines documentary and fiction to craft a multi-layered portrait of a certain corner of the Portuguese countryside. The place comes alive each August when it hosts a series of travelling music bands that go from village to village staging outdoor concerts, playing cheesy pop with romantic lyrics. The first half of the film – is fairly "straight" documentary with an ethnographic and anthropological bent, immersing us in the particularities and peculiarities of place.
Then, at some point, some of the folks we've met begin to turn into movie characters -- a girl whose job is to sit atop a tower and watch for forest fires becomes the movie's heroine -- and we get our little story of illicit romance and other amorous troubles.
