On the craggy coast of the Cape Verde island of São Nicolau, Quirino lives with his hen and a radio that tells him about life outside his ghost village. He ponders human existence and spends every day in solitude. When everyday life becomes too arduous for the 76-year-old, he has to make a decision: can he leave his home behind and begin a new life? Eva Weinmann
