Nayola

Spoken: Portugese / Subtitles: Dutch

Angola. Three generations of women in a 25-year-long civil war: Lelena (the grandmother), Nayola (the daughter) and Yara (the granddaughter). Past and present interlace. Nayola goes in search of her missing husband at the height of the war. Decades later, the country is finally at peace but Nayola has not returned. Yara has become a rebellious teenager and a subversive rap singer. Lelena tries to contain her for fear of the police coming to arrest her. One night, a masked intruder breaks into their house, armed with a machete. A painful secret, a reckless search, a combat song. A suspended love, an initiatory journey, a tragic swoop.

In the presence of Geert Van Goethem and Linda Sterckx (producers).

The film will be preceded by the animation film Who corrupts therein (2022, Mostafa Mohamed Younts, Egypt, 7 min.) without dialogue

After falling into a parallel dimension, an errant spirit makes an offering to Earth to forgive humanity from those who corrupt it.
