A carefree young Rastafarian named Miguel, a.k.a. Djon África, is prompted to go on a search for his father, who he never met. All he knows is what his grandmother tells him: that his father was deported long ago to Cape Verde, where Miguel goes on a quest to find his roots.

Three close friends, Crista Carloto and João - along an entire film crew - become the protagonists of a cinematic experiment shot during the lockdown. Shot in sumptuous 16mm during the pandemic, the film is one of the most playful cinematic creations of the pandemic, for which personal restrictions provided a source of inspiration and pure joy in the creative process.

A temperamental old woman, her Cape Verdean maid and a neighbour devoted to social causes live on the same floor of a Lisbon apartment building. When the old lady dies, the other two learn of an episode from her past: a tale of love and crime set in an Africa straight from the world of adventure films.
