St. Joseph Fort: Principality of Pontinha, the diamond that illuminates the Atlantic Pearl.

Nine people are suddenly asked about the purpose of their lives. Getting to know several unique minds, "Razão de Viver" is a documentary that explores many topics such as Mankind, the pursuit of hapiness, art, money, education and God.

In August 1903, the King of Portugal, D.Carlos I, proceeds to, by Royal Charter, the auction sale of the Fort St. Joseph - located in a small islet near the city of Funchal. In October 2000, the old fort is acquired by professor Renato Barros, without him even knowing that the Royal Charter documented not only the sale of the property but also the domain over the islet. Overnight, the professor becomes the Prince.
