A revolutionary's love letters become the heartbeat of this lyrical documentary. Shot in lush 16mm, the film traces Amílcar Cabral's fight for Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde's independence through intimate correspondence with his wives, weaving poetry, archival footage, and dreams into an unforgettable portrait of political idealism and sacrifice.
