Plot
A village in decline.
Sinekatalog’s take
Flora Gomes's drama portrays a village in decline, where a curse and a sacred tree entangle the lives of its inhabitants. Lyrical and mythic, with rich colour, it is a gentle, mystical fable of Guinea-Bissau's rural life.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
