In the early 70s, Camilo de Sousa left Lourenço Marques, Mozambique, travelled Europe, joined the Frelimo guerrilla and became a filmmaker. Now living in Portugal, he returns to Mozambique to be reunited with two former comrades in arms. With Aleixo Caindi and Julião Papalo, he recalls ancient times, when the joy of liberation made way for dark times and the quest for a ‘new man’ destroyed a country’s dreams and illusions.

Best movie of this year hands down!
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
