Over the course of hundreds of years, the inhabitants of the Azores Islands speak in hushed tones of ancient civilizations that once thrived here. Today, echoes of these myths can still be heard, including the story of the legendary kingdom of Atlantis. In this short film, we explore these myths and a number of enigmatic archeological sites.

Could it be that remnants of some of these mythical cultures still lie hidden beneath the earth, waiting to be uncovered? If so, could we ever get closer to them? Could we ever understand them?

Music in this video:
- Missa pro defunctis - IV. Tractus- Giammateo Asola
