Gradually the film unveils the seemingly solitary world of Dominguinhos, a 72‑year‑old hermit living in a cave jutting from a rocky mountain. It is built around extended silences that frame his routine—cooking, cleaning, and other daily tasks—interspersed with images that reach beyond his secluded domain. As the story progresses, it becomes clear that silence is the norm for him, a constant backdrop through which time flows, while speech appears only as a rare exception.
