In Melgaço, Rosa Maria, a craftswoman for about 50 years, dedicates herself to passing on to her grandchildren the knowledge and techniques of traditional craftsmanship. This woman shares with Ricardo, Afonso and Mariana an art that she knows deeply and that represents a lifetime of dedication.
The three grandchildren observe their grandmother with a curious and attentive gaze, learning the gestures, techniques and secrets of a tradition that spans generations. Rosa Maria patiently teaches them everything she knows about this traditional craft.
Traditional craftsmanship is described as an art that is passed down from generation to generation and that struggles to endure over time. This cultural tradition faces the challenge of remaining alive in a constantly changing world.
In the small hands of her grandchildren, this ancient tradition now gains a new life, representing the hope that traditional craftsmanship will continue to be preserved for future generations.
