by Pedro Pinho
POSTER
SYNOPSIS
Sergio, a Portuguese environmental engineer, travels to Guinea Bissau to conduct an impact report for a road-building project. As he grapples with heat and isolation, he meets Diara and Gui—two locals equally yearning to find their own way. But as tensions arise within their ambiguous relationship and as Sergio understands the capitalist and post- colonial dynamics at play around his mission, they each have to confront how their identities shape them in a globalized world.
