Synopsis:

Jorge Queiroga's magic realist drama Behind the Clouds concerns young Paulo, a little boy bereft of his father, whose widowed mother ardently refuses to grant him permission to meet his paternal granddad. When Paulo reaches the age of 10, he expressly defies his mother's orders by making a secret journey to his grandfather's home, in a remote part of the country. Once there, he finds a fantastic invention: a little red car with the ability to take him soaring high into the clouds, and the added ability to send him spiraling backward in time. Alas, Paulo's grandfather grows increasingly distraught over the time travel element, and in the process, Paulo arrives at some sobering and disillusioning realizations about the mystery surrounding his clan.

Paulo is ten years old and lives with his mother in Lisbon. Maria has always avoided her son to meeting his grandfather, but Paulo finally decides to look for him and gets away during a school field trip. He finds his grandfather at Alentejo, where he produces wine, and lives isolated in his farm trying to rescue the past. There he also keeps an old Citroen carefully parked for all his imaginary journeys. It is in this magic car that grandfather leads Paulo through their common past, and together they will embrace a thrilling adventure.
