Trails or Paths () is a 1978 Portuguese art film directed by João César Monteiro in his debut feature.

== Synopsis == "History of the Branca-Flor" from legends and figures of popular mythology. Roots of an itinerary through the natural and landscape origins, to the heart of Portugal. The values (water, birth, life-wheel), the figures (the devil, the wolves) and the references (the lord, servitude), with a stigma of unavoidable justice".
