Maria Clotilde

It's dawn in the capital of Mozambique. Young people leave the nightclubs and, in the backyards, women start their day. A man runs, a woman arrives from a trip, a tourist takes a walk, a worker takes the public transportation and the Maputo Nakuzandza radio station announces the disappearance of a bride.

Dreaming of great adventures and of standing up for his homeland, a young Portuguese man enlists in the army during World War I and is sent to the front line in Mozambique, Africa. Left behind by his platoon, he sets out on a grueling trek across the mystic Makua native land, walking for over a thousand kilometers, in search of his dream.
