Amid the mountains, in the heart of Portugal, the month of August is abuzz with people and activity. Emigrants return home to set off fireworks, fight fires, sing karaoke, hurl themselves from bridges, hunt wild boar, drink beer, and make babies. The film is an intoxicating blend of visuals and sound that follow the strange relationship between a father, a daughter and a nephew in a traveling pop band. Aquele Querido MÃÃ,s de Agosto was presented in the Directorsâ Fortnight at the 2008 Cannes Festival, and was subsequently selected in more than forty international festivals, winning over a dozen prizes.
