Filmed during the International Symposium on the Concentration Camp of Tarrafal, which reunited in the island of Santiago, Cape Vert, many of those who passed by there – Portuguese anti-fascists (1936-1954) and nationalists from Angola, Guiné-Bissau and Cape Vert (1962-1974). The documentary gathers the memories of the Portuguese Edmundo Pedro, one of the two survivals of the camp’s first period, and of those from Angola, Guiné-Bissau and Cape Vert who were incarcerated there following the fight from liberation in the colonies.
