A beautiful, intelligent and flirtatious young girl, Yonta, is secretly in love with a friend of her parents, Vicente, a hero of the war of independence.
Vicente ignores her passion and she is not interested in the love of a young man who sends her anonymous love letters. An endearing, moving story, whose real hero is the city of Bissau, capital of Guinea-Bissau.
