Synopsis
Through a mural of photographs, Tila Chitunda recreates the trajectory of her family who must leave Angola and take refuge in Olinda, Brazil in the late 1970s because of a civil war. Divided between the memories of the family and the manifestations of African origin that she finds in Pernambuco, her native land, the director, the only Brazilian daughter of this family, goes in search of her roots.
