We are in 1961, at the beginning of the war for Angolan independence. Domingos Xavier is a revolutionary arrested by the Portuguese military and taken to a prison in Sambizanga. His wife, Maria, seeks him out, fearing he may have been subjected to torture, or even death. A film that shows the liberation of Angola through the eyes of a woman.
