Synopsis
At the end of the 60s, Evita arrives in the Portuguese colony of Mozambique to marry Luís, a mathematics student doing his military service there. Evita soon realizes that Luís has changed, and in the turmoil of the war he has transformed into a pale imitation of his com- manding officer, Forza Leal. The men leave on a major military offensive in the north of the country. Evita is left alone. Desperate to understand what has changed Luís, she seeks the company of Helena, Forza Leal’s wife. Helena, submissive and humiliated, is a prisoner in her own house where she is fulfilling a promise. And she shows Luís’ darkest side to Evita, as she tries to draw her into an ambiguous relationship of destruction and death.
