Director Inês de Medeiros
Countries Portugal
Duration 70 min
Synopsis
One night in Lisbon. Albert, a young man of African origin and Portuguese nationality, needs a suit so that he can go looking for work. He meets Alice, a white, old lady who badly misses the life that she had in Mozambique. But this lady only has military uniforms, traces of the war that forced her to return to Portugal; a country that she does not know and, above all, does not like. The idealized image of an Africa that does not exist anymore and that may never have existed. A colonial Africa that is at once rough and romantic for Alice and, for Albert, the Africa of his parents, an inheritance loaded with longing.
