After losing her daughter, Rita (Beatriz Batarda) returns to the African country where she was raised to investigate a mystery from the past: the truth about the death of Yvone Kane, a former guerrilla fighter and political activist. In this country where progress is being built on the ruins of a violent past, Rita reunites with her mother Sara (Irene Ravache), a tough and lonely woman who has lived there for many years.
