Dreams of a Revolution

Sonhos de uma Revolução
Pedro Neves
Portugal, France / 2023 0:12:58


The road to Inhaminga, in Mozambique, is populated by ghosts that wander in the dark. The bullets fell silent almost half a century ago, but I can still hear their echo. I search for revolutions whose end I don't know. All I find along the way are words that stand the test of time.

Memories of an Empty House

Memorias de uma Casa Vazia

Bruno Carnide

My dear, I remember as if it were today, the day we met for the first time. I think I was about 15 and still playing with dolls. I looked at you. Full of courage. Whithout letting it show that my whole body was shaking. You grabbed my waist with unusual strength when you pulled me to dance. I felt weak and strong. At that moment I was sure… because I knew I could die in that embrace. Sleep there and just stay in that embrace.
