Gita loves Mozambique, while her mother - who came from Portugal in search of a better life - longs to be part of the wealthy Portuguese elite. Teolinda Gersão paints an evocative picture of childhood in Africa and the stark constrast between lush, ebullient Mozambique and the bleak and poor outlook of Salazar in Portugal.
