Inadelso Cossa visits his grandparents' village in Mozambique, where he grew up during the civil war. Back then, his grandmother kept the war out of sight for him. Now the film shines a careful light into the darkness of the past.

Amid the aftermath of Mozambique's civil war, I visit my grandmother, confronting fading memories and blurred lines between truth and fiction. A former rebel's presence in the village echoes the relentless ghosts of war, mirroring the tensions of my generation.
