Description

Ten years after their return from the brutal colonial war in Mozambique, five former soldiers reunite for a night that forces them to confront the ghosts of their past. As they descend into debauchery, fragmented memories of their time in Africa surface, revealing the profound and lasting impact of the conflict. This novel delves into themes of trauma, camaraderie, and the struggle to reconcile with a history that continues to haunt them. Through a powerful and unflinching narrative, it explores the psychological scars left by war and the complex realities of post-colonial Portugal.
