MAPUTO, 2024

In the vibrant and tropical landscape of Mozambique, a young filmmaker captures their experiences between September and December in 2024. This raw footage creates an intimate digital diary that brings to life the revolutionary mood of the era. The warm tones of sand, palm trees, and an orange sun provide a beautiful backdrop as the protagonist navigates through daily work and leisure moments on sleepy beaches. The juxtaposition between the serenity of the setting and the presence of tanks adds an element of tension to the footage, while the use of VHS and local fabric known as Capulanas gives a unique cultural twist to this personal exploration. As night falls and beers are shared with friends, moments of reflection become interwoven with the political undercurrents that shape their world. This is more than just an account of daily life; it's a glimpse into the soul of a place and people during a time of change.
