Talking About Rio de Onor is a chronicle about a remote border village in the northeastern region of Trás-os-Montes in Portugal, a country on the verge of revolution. The film focuses on agro-pastoral communitarianism's remaining traits that characterise the village's labour relations and the changes brought about by emigration and modernisation. Campos said: "... when certain situations no longer exist or are about to disappear, there's no need to dig up a painful past. Rather, we must create a solid present to articulate the future".
The screening opens with a short montage of images taken from details of Marc Chagall's paintings, one of a series of films Campos made in the 1960s about art and exhibitions.
