In a leafy forest, a Galician sovereign who longs to attain wisdom meets a sorcerer, who tells him: “Go back to your country and study the Earth and the Stars in the sky; anywhere in the world reflects an image of it. You will ride on this arrow, which you must keep for a hundred years and a day. After this time, stick it in the widest valley of all those you possess, with the tip facing the sky. Then the Moon will come and, just as it exerts its action on the waters of the sea, it will act on the arrow, turning it into a holy mountain." - Legend about the Pico Sacro Inspired by Hokusai's views of Mount Fuji and Cézanne's paintings of Mont Sainte-Victoire, "Pico Sacro [The Holy Mountain]" aims to reveal the mystery and the magic that underlie reality.

The black granite in the Serra da Capelada range formed from solidified magma during the Precambrian era, some 1,160 million years ago. The rocks were buried deep beneath the Earth’s surface until Pangea broke apart, 200 million years ago, causing a 600-meter high cliff to form. Homo sapiens sapiens appeared on Earth 200,000 years ago.

A journey into a world of estrangement in which nothing is what it seems, yet it gives way to the vision of a better future after the storm. A work that begins with a sequence of correspondences in the distance to gradually become an essay that reflects on the perception of time, confinement, the impact of man on nature and the very act of filmmaking.
