About

In late-1960s Mozambique, Evita joins officer Luís and discovers a colonial war and a society marked by cruelty and lies.

During Portugal's colonial war in Mozambique in the late 1960s, Evita (Beatriz Batarda) moves from Lisbon to Mozambique, where Luís (Filipe Duarte) is stationed as an officer. She finds life in the country at war different and disturbing. Luís has changed and now tries to follow his superior Jaime Forza Leal (Adriano Luz). When Luís and Forza Leal leave for an operation in northern Mozambique, Evita seeks the company of Forza Leal's wife Helena (Monica Calle), who lives withdrawn. From Helena she learns about cruelty and a colonial society consumed by guilt and lies.
