In an attempt to navigate his father’s increasingly poor memory due to Alzheimer’s disease, a man hires a student to act as a companion and caretaker to his father.
In this gorgeously-animated family saga from director José Miguel Ribeiro, the lives of three generations of Angolan women intertwine across past and present as a violent 25-year-long civil war simmers in the background. Nayola goes in search of her missing husband at the height of the war. Yara has become a rebellious teenager and a provocative rapper who uses her music to promote social change. And all the while, Lelena tries to keep Yara’s activism off the police’s radar.
