It's an amazing film for a country where has its independence in 1975 and has no film industry. Simple story of this film shows us the main problems of Angola after 27 year long civil war. 1.5 millions of homeless and 4 millions of people who have effected from the war were made Angola another problematic like Liberia, Rwanda and Sierra Leone. Like the other countries in the line of middle-Africa, Angola has a struggle against the poverty as a result of past colonial experiences. Health, education problems and unemployment are storied in two peoples' life's intersection. The naiveness of the story may be the main lack of the film, but it builds an objective gaze to a post-colonial problems of African Nations. And also this film may trigger a third world national cinema industry for African Nations.
