A study on the uninhabited area of the old railway workers' district at the Portuguese village Setil. In the 20th century, Setil was one of the major points of railway activity in Portugal, especially in the 60's, during the Colonial War - becoming a place of memory to many Portuguese of that generation. Alone on this journey we approach the remaining materials and documents of the abandoned district, while discovering it's architecture dominated by nature. Puzzling and obscure as the night and its rituals, these materials lead us through the geography of Setil as we plunge into its elements.
