Terra Sonâmbula

In early 1990s Mozambique, following the dissipation of the Civil War, a sensitive boy named Muidinga struggles to survive without the presence of his parents – who have long since disappeared, whereabouts unknown. As the story commences, Muidinga happens upon a diary found near a lifeless corpse that speaks of a woman on a ship seeking her estranged son. Certain that the woman in question is his mother, he embarks on a long journey in search of her, and soon gains the support and assistance of a traveling companion, the elderly Tahir. The two set out on a long trek from one refugee camp to another hoping to find at least some trace of the woman who brought Muidinga into the world.
