In 1975, Angola’s declaration of independence began a long Civil War that killed and expelled many Angolans from their home lands. 40 years later, Alice, the only Brazilian born daughter of an Angolan family who found refuge in Brazil, decides to go to Angola for the first time to look for the stories that motivated her parents to baptize her with that name.
