On the night of the summer solstice, Porto celebrates with fireworks and crowds gathered along the Douro. Paulo Rocha films the city through light, water, and collective movement, turning a familiar festival into an ambiguous urban vision. Between the promise of a new beginning and the threat of apocalypse, the river becomes a stage where history, myth, and the present converge.
