Sobre o filme

Rui Pedro spent his childhood in Mozambique in the fifties, deep in the wilds of Africa, cut off from the rest of the country by an immense river. The son of Portuguese settlers, from his earliest years, he was obliged to come to grips with antagonic forces: the European and the African cultures, lord and slave, peace and violence, hate and passion. Forty years after leaving the country, he returns to Mozambique in search of the cotton fields where he grew up. And there, he has cause to remember the summer when he had to make the most important decision of his life: to be African or to be European. The film is based on a short story “O Lento Gotejar da Luz”, by Leite de Vasconcelos, journalist and writer who grew up in Mozambique and was obliged to leave the country for political reasons.
