Люси не в своём уме. Вот уже несколько лет она прозябает в психиатрической больнице в Мозамбике. Женщина живёт в собственном вымышленном мире, но даже там ей нет покоя. Призраки любимых людей преследуют её как во сне, так и наяву. При первой возможности Люси бежит из больницы и пускается в бесцельное блуждание по выжженной солнцем и противоречиями стране, которая мало чем отличается от сумасшедшего дома.

Marta, a young woman living in the rural area of southern Mozambique, discovers she is HIV positive after becoming pregnant.

Two boys with different experiences and goals meet up in a sprawling African market. One is looking for a job, to get back what was stolen from him and return home. The other will do anything to avoid having to go back with his family. They become friends and together they reinvent the world.

Based on the book by Henning Mankell (Sweden), this story takes place in Mozambique and is about a young boy, Nelio, who loses his entire family during a time of civil war. A wounded Nelio is found by a baker in the capital Mapouto; refusing medical treatment, the boy instead asks for sanctuary so he can tell his terrible tale. This he proceeds to do, starting with how the fighters arrived in his village and slaughtered many, to his captivity, his escape and his teaming with other orphaned street urchins to become their leader in survival.

The film deals with the judgment of the so-called "compromised", who integrated the colonial apparatus. At Josina Machel school, in an amphitheater with a full audience and balcony, there is a stage where Samora Machel and the members of the Frelimo political committee are located. He records Samora, an impeccable political actor, sometimes histrionic, in the role that he is attributed as the animator of the scene in the trial.
